  • Market and assist landowners in applying for and implementing Farm Bill programs to further the conservation of natural resources.
  • Increase communications and outreach to increase partner buy-in and conservation program participation by landowners.
  • Resource-based solutions in the following areas: range and cropland, forestry, water resources, soil health, wildlife, and conservation technical assistance.
