In conjunction with a national water quality initiative, NRCS in California will invest $2.5 million in targeted funds to improve
water quality in five high priority watersheds in California. "NRCS California is proud to participate in this national campaign
to add on-farm water quality improvements within targeted watersheds," said Ed Burton, NRCS California state conservationist. "These
additional funds will help landowners to voluntarily address issues related to Clean Water Act compliance and keep their farms and
ranches healthy and productive."
