Roberts Highlights Need for Conservation Efforts
Kansas Ag Connection - 03/24/2017

U.S. Senator Pat Roberts, chairman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, addressed the National Association of Conservation Districts, urging advocacy for voluntary conservation programs in the upcoming Farm Bill reauthorization.

"The conservation districts are the perfect example where we see coordination in government working at its best -- bringing together federal, state, local and private partners and leveraging those resources to get conservation on the ground," said Roberts.

"It is important to deliver a united message that locally led and voluntary conservation incentives have always been the foundation of USDA conservation programs. Voluntary conservation -- not regulation -- is an effective model that resonates with producers across the country."

"Federal investment in these programs has a proven track record of success to incentivize farmers and ranchers to install best management conservation practices on the ground to help address critical natural resource concerns like improving water quality, improving soil health, or enhancing wildlife habitat."
