In-Field BMPs#
There are a wide range of practices that you can follow in your field so as to reduce erosion, improve water quality for the environment, and also sustain your property for future generations. All of these practices are things that you can do on the working land that you farm. For the most part, they require you to change how you do your farming, but don’t require you to substantially change the landscape itself or invest in expensive infrastructure. For most of these practices, there are substantial benefits both for your farm’s productivity, and then potentially through subsidies and cost share.
