    Conservation Planning 101
    The planning process begins with a certified conservation planner visit with the farmer to discuss goals, operations, and issues related to production or natural resources. The planner will work with the landowner or operator to plan for real-life, practical solutions to help preserve the soil resource, protect water quality, and maintain farm viability. A complete resource inventory and evaluation is part of the planning process. Based on those results, conservation practices may be recommended to improve the productivity and long-term sustainability of the land.
