The 2008 Farm Bill offers America’s agricultural producers and
nonindustrial private forest landowners more assistance than ever before
to voluntarily conserve natural resources on our Nation’s privately
owned farm and ranch lands. Its provisions provide technical and
financial assistance to help producers implement conservation practices
that reduce erosion, protect our waters, improve fish and wildlife
habitat, improve air quality, and conserve energy.
This guide introduces the assistance available.
The 3-year, 38-state study will verify if high tunnels are effective
in reducing pesticide use, keeping vital nutrients in the soil,
extending the growing season, increasing yields, and providing other
benefits to growers. USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS) will provide financial assistance for the project through the
Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), the EQIP Organic
Initiative, and the Agricultural Management Assistance program (AMA).
