Barb Glenn says the report highlights state-led efforts to finance agricultural
conservation.
“They are innovative and outside the box to better serve farmers and ranchers and help them adopt more conservation practices,” she says.
Maggie Monast with the Environmental Defense Fund says there’s never been a more important time to address conservation funding as farmers continue to face a down farm economy.
