Helping organizations that help farmers.

Farmers give us more than nutritious food; they can help our communities stay healthy by protecting our water and land.

We believe every farmer, regardless of their size or what they grow, should be supported in implementing conservation practices on their farm.

The Midwest Agriculture Conservation (MAC) Network is active in six states where our Conservation Coordinators help farmers identify the conservation programs that meet their goals.

Farmers can be connected to other producers who have implemented conservation practices to learn from their experience, have support through the process and also be connected to non-federal resources.

Our Vision

We live within a shared environment, connected to the land, water, air, plants and animals, and each other. We take responsibility and action for soil health and empower farmers to nourish communities with abundant, nutritious food, capture carbon to reverse climate change, and safeguard clean water for all. We work toward a future where everyone who wants to farm is supported, where farming is less risky, and farmers are empowered to make positive changes for their farms and communities.
