Gillibrand, Colleagues Introduce Bill To Help Small Farms Access Federal Resources
U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand joined 9 of her Senate colleagues to introduce the Small Farm Conservation Act, legislation that would help small farms access federal conservation programs delivered through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). EQIP helps farmers improve soil health, water quality, and air quality; protect against drought and weather volatility; and conserve ground and surface water.
