In this episode of VetFarm Network, we’re joined by Shane Johnson, State Outreach Coordinator for USDA NRCS Indiana, to talk about how NRCS helps farmers — especially veterans — plan, fund, and implement conservation practices.
Shane breaks down the basics of programs like EQIP and CSP, explains what a conservation plan really is, and shares how to connect with your local NRCS office for support. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to improve your operation, this quick conversation offers practical guidance and encouragement.
