Learn how to register with USDA, secure an NRCS conservation contract, and position your operation for premium market sales. The session will also cover what a Soil Health Management Plan actually requires, how conservation practices translate into cost-share funding. Using a live DMV urban farm as the working example, this workshop takes you from paperwork to profit in one session.
