Producer Roundtable on Conservation Practice Standards

Why Your Input Matters

The NRCS is committed to placing our farmers first by gathering field-based input on the applicability of conservation practices. This is an informal opportunity for you to share your individual insights; we are not seeking a group consensus but rather your individual feedback. Discussion topics may include new technologies and equipment we should incorporate, how national standards are modified for local conditions, and how specific practices impact your bottom line.
