The USDA-NRCS-PA department is offering this grant to support farmers in making crucial operational decisions that lead to significant environmental benefits. This grant is specifically designed to reduce soil erosion and prevent nutrient runoff into streams, thereby improving overall water quality across Pennsylvania. It focuses on providing technical assistance to crop and livestock operations. The primary purpose is to help farmers implement changes in their practices that result in enhanced conservation and reduced environmental impact. This initiative specifically targets the adoption of new, effective methods rather than just documenting current farm operations, encouraging a proactive approach to sustainable agriculture.
