NRCS Arizona is making an extra effort to show Arizona
agricultural producers how conservation planning can help your land's natural
resources. We are encouraging farmers and ranchers to
request help developing a conservation plan. Creating a conservation plan is a
free service from our experts in conserving water, improving air quality, and
reducing soil erosion. It’s your plan to use as you wish – a guide to using your
natural resources more efficiently.

Colorado River basin had 53 percent of median snowpack. In the Chuska
Mountains of northeastern Arizona, snowpack conditions were measured at
73 percent of median.

Agriculture (USDA) programs and services. Learn more...
