USDA announced that it will invest more than $325 million in 42 projects across the nation through the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP). RCPP pairs private investment with federal funds to help farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners boost their operations and conserve natural resources. Under changes to the program this year, 75% of the funding will go directly to farmers and cover the cost of practice implementation. A complete list of the projects selected for funding is available online.
