Soil and Water Conservation: An Overview

Description: Soil and water conservation topics are prominent in discussions of policy options for the next farm bill, which the 110th Congress is considering.

Addressing these topics often pits supporters of commodity programs and the traditional farm program benefits against those who would like to see an expanded conservation effort.
