 Hi there, I'm Tom Watson, NRCS State Conservations here in Montana. Are you new to agriculture? Did you just start managing an operation of any size within the past 10 years? If so, you may qualify for financial assistance as a beginning farmer or rancher, which includes a higher payment rate for completed conservation practices. Stop by your local NRCS field office to start planning now. Visit nrcs.usda.gov slash Montana for more information. USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer, and lender.
