Sustainable agriculture
Whether you operate a multi-generation farm, have a few backyard chickens, or rent cropland to a local farmer, we’re available to help.
Call our office to learn about incentive payments for cover crops, nutrient management, prescribed grazing, and conservation tillage.
We can also help you to repair gullies, convert cropland to prairies, reduce runoff to lakes and rivers, manage invasive species, and protect groundwater drinking supplies from nitrogen contamination.
