Environmental Farm Plans
FREE Workshop
Having an Environmental Farm Plan (EFP) is becoming increasingly important for agricultural producers. Take advantage of this FREE workshop for in-person assistance with completing an EFP!An EFP can help you:
- Recognize environmental risks on your farm
- Increase understanding of legal requirements related to environmental issues
- Increase operational efficiency & reduce farm costs
- Show the public, government, and investors that you are managing your environmental risks
EFPs are becoming more and more frequently required by commodity groups, government programs, and funding providers. By starting the process now, you can lessen the likelihood of missing funding and set yourself up to take advantage of opportunities as soon as they become available.
