What To Know About Implementing Conservation Practices

Policy
Farm and Food

For many producers, conservation is an important tool in keeping their farm or ranch resilient for years to come. One way producers can receive support for implementing conservation practices is through programs offered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). 

For farmers and ranchers new to implementing conservation practices like cover crops, the path to receiving support through a cost-share program might not always be clear. 

The fact sheets below, available in English and Spanish, address some of the common questions we’ve received from years of connecting with farmers and ranchers, such as "Can I participate in federal cost-share programs if I rent the land I farm?" to "How do payments and taxes work for these programs?"
