Water Quality a Priority for Farmers and Ranchers
Water is a crucial resource for farmers and ranchers, not only for keeping their crops, forage, and livestock healthy, but also as part of their families' and communities' water supply.
Farmers and ranchers protect water quality through various practices, including conservation tillage, cover crops, nutrient management, and livestock practices that reduce runoff.
