Other Farm Bill Priorities

Focus Conservation Security Program enhancements more towards active agricultural practices that benefit wildlife, wetlands, and grassland habitat on farms and ranches.
Support a program that would encourage the long-term protection of native grassland through incentives, similar to the original intent of the Grasslands Reserve Program to protect two million acres.
Keep Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program available and allow local flexibility to be applied to specific sites that are beneficial to waterfowl and wetlands conservation.
Maintain the Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program.
Maintain the Wildlife Habitiat Incentive Program program.
Focus Environmental Quality Incentives Program more towards agriculture practices that benefit wildlife, wetlands, and grassland habitat.
Work to reform TSP, RFP, and cooperative agreement policies to allow partners to work more easily with USDA to deliver Farm Bill conservation programs.
