Agriculture has changed a lot over the years, but America remains a nation sustained by agriculture and family farms. This summer, we want to highlight how things have changed on your operation over the years in our #ThenAndNow campaign. Take part:nrcs.usda.gov/our-agency/new…

Pulling over for a picnic! Did you know that one-third of the food we eat depends on pollinators like bees, butterflies, and beetles? Let’s raise a juice box for our farm-field heroes! #PollinatorWeek

At NRCS we work side-by-side with farmers and growers to protect the soil, water, and natural resources that make farming possible. This National Eat Your Veggies Day, we celebrate the connection between conservation and farm-fresh vegetables we all enjoy!

Scenic stop ahead! Native plants and wildflowers are like rest stops for pollinators, providing food, shelter and a place to grow and thrive. Planting native species in your garden helps keep the pollinator highway buzzing. #PollinatorWeek

There may be as many ways to monitor grazing land condition as there are graziers. What method do you use and what’s your most valuable tool? The important thing is to find the monitoring program that works for you. We’re happy to help you develop monitoring strategies.

In this photo, a forester is demonstrating how to measure the diameter of a tree with a diameter tape. Getting an accurate diameter breast height measurement helps foresters determine the number of trees that need to be removed so the stand doesn’t get under or over-thinned.

Time to veer off the main highway and cruise the Backroads Bypass, where lesser-known pollinators like mice and lizards do their part! They help support native plants that benefit soil, water and wildlife around farms. Every footprint counts! #PollinatorWeek

Last stop on our journey is the twilight turnoff! The sun may be down, but the pollination party is just getting started. Today, we’re celebrating the unsung heroes of the night shift: moths, bats, and more! #PollinatorWeek

Happy National Dairy Month. Whether your operation is big or small, milking cows or goats, we can help! We have assistance available to improve pastures, manage manure, protect heave-use areas and more. Reach out to your local service center to learn more. nrcs.usda.gov/contact/find-a…

Polyester bees are valuable pollinators of spring crops and their nest lining was one of the first bioplastics discovered. Consider improving habitat for native bees through plant diversity and reduced pesticide use. How do you support native pollinators? 📸 Mary C Legg, Bugwood

We were born out of the Dust Bowl in the 1930s, and 90 years later we're still committed to helping you keep your soil on the land and combatting wind erosion. Making the switch to no-till farming can help keep your precious soil from blowing away. farmprogress.com/conservation-a…

It is National Soil Health Day, and we are digging into the undie-cover work of soil microbes! That’s right it is time to Soil Your Undies. We know... we just had to go and make learning about soil weird, but we promise it is fun. Here's how to do it:

Thomas' military experience and persistence served him well in growing his farm of watermelons, soybeans, native plants and more from 10 to 275 acres. With us, he's added conservation practices that improve food safety, irrigation efficiency, and more: nrcs.usda.gov/state-offices/….

Sorry y’all, our bad! Back in the day, some encouraged using kudzu as a bank protector from soil erosion, particularly in the South. Here's Hugh Hammond Bennett inspecting plants at the Alabama Experiment Station in 1939. Turns out, kudzu works so well, it takes over EVERYTHING.

Key to our 90-year history was the establishment of the conservation planning process by Hugh Hammond Bennett. Many of his ideas and principles about its critical role have withstood the test of time and still greatly inform our work today. nrcs.usda.gov/our-agency/new…

For 90 years, we've been focused on the farmer. Through one-on-one, personalized advice, we work with producers and communities to find the best solutions to meet their unique conservation and business goals. This is a photo of us working with a landowner (on left) in the 80’s.

Hey classroom teachers and homeschooling parents, are you looking for new material to include in your science curriculum? How about some soil science? We’ve got educational resources to help make it easy. nrcs.usda.gov/resources/educ…

European honeybees get a lot of buzz, but native pollinators are estimated to pollinate 75% of flowering plants around the world. Did you know more than 3,500 species of native bees help increase crop yields?

From NRCS Arkansas: In an ever-changing world, two things are for certain: we need food, and we need hard-working, driven people to grow it, like Derrick and Thomas of Young Farm Services, LLC in Brinkley, Arkansas. nrcs.usda.gov/state-offices/…
