TCSI is more than one type of conservation practice. Depending on the operation, eligible options may involve soil, crops, grazing, pasture or selected animal-operation practices. Start with your land, your goals and a conversation.

A flyer can introduce TCSI. A conversation can make it useful. Regional ambassadors help producers understand which eligible practices may fit their land, livestock and goals. Start the conversation.

Livestock, forage, soil and water are connected. TCSI may help eligible Texas producers explore prescribed grazing, range planting and pasture planting through planning, technical assistance and potential financial support.

TCSI is preparing digital reporting and verification tools to help its team follow progress, support verification and reduce unnecessary travel. Better tools can support more efficient service for Texas producers.

Familiar with EQIP? TCSI may feel similar in how it works, but it focuses on a different set of eligible practices. The right fit depends on your operation. Talk with a regional TCSI ambassador to explore your options.

National Water Quality Month may be ending; stewardship continues. Covered soil, better water flow, less erosion and sound nutrient planning strengthen working lands. TCSI helps eligible Texas producers with planning, technical assistance and potential financial support.

National Water Quality Month may be ending, but the work continues with every season. Keeping soil covered, improving water movement, reducing erosion and planning nutrients carefully are not single-day actions.

Crop residue can help reduce weed pressure now and contribute nutrients as it decomposes later. TCSI supports eligible practices that keep soil covered and functioning.

Healthier soil can support healthier crops and stronger margins over time. TCSI helps eligible Texas producers invest in that foundation.
