The Chief of the Natural Resources Conservation Services says Michigan’s voluntary stewardship program can be a role model for other states.
Chief Matt Lohr tells Brownfield NRCS and the Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program share the same vision: to implement voluntary conservation practices.
“I think some of these programs are really great on paper but it’s hard to get farmers really motivated. I’m looking forward to today and learning more about MAEAP.”
Rebecca Davis, the third generation of Pfander Farms, says
they became the first farm to be verified in 2002 and have remained committed
to protecting the environment.
