The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) unveiled a new video series, Conservation at Work, in February.
The series consists of short, 90-second videos that highlight common conservation practices.
The videos shine the spotlight on farmers, ranchers and forestland owners from across the United States who share their own conservation stories and how conservation practices help them protect and improve resources, as well as save time and money.
“By sharing the conservation successes of our customers, we hope the videos will help educate our customers and the general public and motivate more farmers and landowners to consider conservation,” Matt Lohr, NRCS chief, said.
Video topics include high tunnels, micro irrigation, waste storage, nutrient management, rotational grazing, sprinkler systems, waste storage facilities, cover crops and wetland restoration, among others.
The Conservation at Work video series can be found at farmers.gov/conserve/conservationatwork.
There are currently 15 videos available.
NRCS plans to continue adding videos to the catalog to eventually have more than 30 conservation practices available to farmers and ranchers in the Conservation at Work video series library.
NRCS is a federal agency that works with the people of Texas to improve and protect their soil, water and other natural resources.
For decades, private landowners have voluntarily worked with NRCS specialists to prevent erosion, improve water quality and promote sustainable agriculture.
