New NRCS Brochure Highlights Practices to Support Healthy Pastures

By Jason Johnson

USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) recently developed a brochure highlighting popular practices to create healthy pastures in Iowa. The featured practices showcase ways to better manage forage, provide livestock water, improve the forage base, and protect sensitive areas.

NRCS is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year. Formed out of the Dust Bowl, the NRCS focused on helping farmers reduce soil erosion for decades. However, the federal agency now assists private landowners with many other natural resource concerns including water quality, energy efficiency, wildlife habitat, and soil health.
