A farm plan assesses the farmers' goals and resource concerns in conjunction with their current livestock inventory, soil types, crop productivity, proximity to water sources, waste management practices and more to craft a plan designed to:​​​​
- Improve plant and animal health
- Protect water and soil resources
- Improve farm productivity​

Upon completion, you will work with a planner to create an implementation schedule.

Cost-Share:
Once a farm plan has been completed, the farmer is eligible for cost-share on projects designed to help them implement recommended management practices. Examples of past cost-share projects include: ​
- Livestock exclusion fences​​
- Gutters and downspouts
- Animal waste systems​

We ground our recommendations in Best Management Practices (BMPs). These are conservation standards that have been thoroughly researched and tested on the ground in collaboration with agricultural producers to provide the best results at the intersection of environmental sustainability and agricultural viability. Frequently recommended practices include:
- Pasture management (prescribed grazing, forage and biomass planting, heavy use area protection, etc.)
- Nutrient management (fencing livestock out of waterways, m​anure composting structures, manure spreading schedules, soil testing, etc.)
