Conservation
Planning Training - Minnesota
This conservation training curriculum was developed by University
of Wisconsin-Extension, University of Minnesota Extension, partner
conservation agencies and private sector consultants as a component
of the CSREES Great Lakes Regional Water Quality Leadership Team Conservation
Education Program.
Conservation Planning is the integral "first step" that
all crop and non-cropland conservation decisions are built upon. True
conservation planning involves not only a working knowledge of the
science behind the resource and potential management solutions, but
an understanding of the cultural, social and economic factors that
influence a landowner's decisions.
A farm's conservation plan is the base document from which
all other land management options should start. Whether the farmer
is considering a switching to rotational grazing, implementing a pest
management plan or expanding their livestock operation, a poor or non-existent
conservation plan can mean the difference between success or failure.
