Agriculture remains one of the most hazardous industries in the U.S. During National Farm Safety and Health Week, we recognize the dedication of our farmers and the demanding nature of their work.

Remember to:
✅ regularly inspect equipment
✅ have the right protective gear
✅ take breaks to avoid over-exhaustion

Rotating crops and increasing the biodiversity in your fields can help prevent disease and pest problems. Using cover crops and increasing diversity within crop rotations improves soil health and soil function, reduces costs, and increases profitability. https://t.co/TA6MF7V0tj

Since 1935, NRCS has developed wide-ranging technical solutions to help farmers and ranchers dramatically reduce soil erosion and to be good stewards of all our shared natural resources. This Dust Bowl era photo shows an early implementation of contour farming.

Since 2005, prescribed grazing has been our top contracted conservation practice by acres applied with more than 271 million. Prescribed grazing is the harvest of vegetation with grazing animals to achieve YOUR ecological, economic, and management goals. https://t.co/2dqSAHBUJd
