Information For Small Farmers

Farmers, ranchers, and other conservation-minded agricultural producers rely on NRCS for assistance through conservation programs and technical information to help them protect the natural resources on their land. Your local USDA Service Center can help you plan and install the best conservation practices for your land. Ag producers also work with our partners, locally led Conservation Districts, who strive to increase voluntary conservation practices among farmers, ranchers and other land users. The PLANTS database provides small farmers with quick access to sources of information on Alternative Crops from various sources across the nation.
