NRCS is committed to the success of all of nation’s producers, businesses, and partners. Some of nation’s producers belong to communities which have been or are marginalized in ways that have reduced their ability to farm and ranch successfully — despite the vital role that they have played in securing a healthy agricultural economy for country and protecting, enhancing, and sustaining valuable natural resources. NRCS encourages proposal submissions from entities that represent, are partnered with, or are composed entirely of producers belonging to such communities.
