WASHINGTON, Oct. 23, 2012 - The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA)
efforts to help producers rebound from drought have touched more than one
million acres of farmland across the country as nearly 2,000 producers took
advantage of conservation funding targeted to drought-stricken areas by USDA's
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). NRCS made more than $27 million
available to farmers and ranchers to make conservation improvements, spurring
recovery and ensuring lands are more drought resistant in the future.
