Webinar: Conservation Compliance: How Farmer Incentives are Changing in the Crop Insurance Era

Event Details

  • Date: 9/12/2017
  • Time: 1 p.m. ET
  • Duration: 1 hour

Description

Conservation Compliance provisions in Farm Bill legislation link farm program benefits to soil and wetland conservation. Farmers who don't meet Compliance requirements risk becoming ineligible for most agriculture-related Federal benefits.

In this webinar, ERS Economist Roger Claassen addresses how Highly Erodible Land Compliance (HELC) requirements have affected soil erosion over the past 30 years; how much soil-erosion reduction can be attributed directly to HELC; and how the 2014 Farm Act changed incentives for meeting Conservation Compliance.
