Think USDA programs only benefit large-scale commodity farmers? Think again!
This webinar will provide a general overview of the Federal Farm Bill and how its programs can benefit small-scale farming operations. We will discuss climate-smart agricultural practices that can be implemented on your farm with the aid of Natural Resource Conservation Service programs and technical assistance. Learn if NRCS programs are right for you and how to get started.

- Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP)
- Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP)

Examples of climate-smart agricultural practices:
- cover cropping
- season-extension
