The
Natural Resources Conservation Service is rolling out a new initiative that
encourages improving soil health. In Idaho, the initiative focuses on reducing
wind and water erosion issues by increasing soil health. Producers interested in
implementing conservation practices emphasizing soil health may apply for
technical and financial assistance by March 15, 2013 for fiscal year 2013
funding.
