Excerpt from Program:
"Sustainable farming and ranching operations depend on conservation of resources. Public grant programs are one way to help meet objectives. Water quality, soil quality, and wildlife habitat are major public policy concerns addressed by grant and maintenance programs. Motivation to participate is essential. Funding is available from (1) Privately funded charitable organizations that generally require nonprofit status, e.g., 501(c)(3); and (2) Publicly funded programs through State and Federal agencies."
