Fully Fund Conservation Programs Now

America’s farmers and rural communities depend on strong conservation programs to protect soil, water, and the long-term health of our land. But as Civil Eats reports, nearly 150 USDA county offices now operate without any conservation staff — leaving farmers without the support they need to implement sustainable practices.

These programs are essential. They help farmers prevent soil erosion, protect clean water, improve resilience to drought and extreme weather, and keep agricultural land productive for future generations. Without adequate staffing and funding, these efforts stall — and the consequences ripple across our food system and environment.

The Trump administration must take immediate action to restore and expand funding for conservation programs and ensure that every USDA office has the staff needed to serve farmers and communities effectively.

Protecting our land is not optional — it’s an investment in our future. By supporting conservation today, we can strengthen our farms, safeguard natural resources, and build a more resilient and sustainable food system for generations to come.
