Whole Farm Conservation Best Practices Manual--ISU & USDA-NRCS

In 2019, the Conservation Learning Group held summits to build consensus on the best management recommendations for farmers and landowners to adopt for conservation and water quality practices.  The resulting manual titled “Whole Farm Conservation Best Practices Manual” is intended to be a one-stop source to help decision makers select and incorporate in-field and edge-of-field conservation practices best suited for their land and preferences.  The manual provides a science-based outline to support a conservation planning process and adoption.
