NRCS State Technical Committees and Local Working Groups: A Guide for Organic Farmers and Ranchers
Welcome!
This Guide will show how you can help shape federal Farm Bill conservation programs to better serve organic farmers and ranchers in your state by participating as a member of the State Technical Committee (STC) or a Local Working Group (LWG) for USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service.
This guide was co-authored by OFRF, the Center for Rural Affairs, the Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Service, National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition, and Farm Aid and funded by a generous grant from the Organic Valley Farmers Advocating for Organic Committee.
