Standard Webinar Example Project
The State Department of Agriculture's Soil and Water Conservation Division aims to improve water quality, preserve the natural resources of the state, and ensure the resilience of agricultural production by providing a voluntary, incentive based conservation program to all eligible cooperators in the state. The program will provide cost share assistance (75% or 90%) to qualifying cooperators on a reimbursement basis to those that implement NRCS and State Best Management Practice that help protect water quality. Cooperators will enter data into the Fieldprint Platform with the assistance of their soil and water conservation district to help provide the state legislator with tangible water quality and other sustainable agricultural improvements. Cooperators, in addition to cost share, will receive advanced technical support to help increase farm sustainability and resilience.

Engagement Targets
Notes: (1) Minor fluctuations in the number of retained growers is expected from year to year. These fluctuations may be due to year-over-year crop rotation effects or other factors beyond the control of the project. Enrolled acres represent the total number of acres on an individual farm in a specific year. The ability to report enrolled acres is based on the Fieldprint Project Standard requirement that individual growers enrolled in projects enter at least 10% of the acres managed for a specific crop. (2) Entered acres represent the actual number of enrolled acres for which data is entered in the Fieldprint Platform for analysis.
Objectives
Increase Participation
Increase the number of cooperators participating in the conservation program by 5% within the next fiscal year.
Enhance Best Management Practice Implementation
Increase the adoption of NRCS or State Best Management Practices by 5% among existing program participants within the next 5 years.
Increase Advanced Technical Support Utilization
Increase the utilization of advanced technical support services by 15% among participating cooperators by the end of the project (2030).
