This hour long discussion will feature questions pre submitted from farmers interested in joining the Precision Conservation Management (PCM) program and what it all entails.

PCM is a farmer service program designed to help farmers understand and manage risks associated with adopting new conservation practices with the objective of helping farmers make sound financial decisions. The program evaluates conservation practices both on their impact to the environment and their impact to family farmer profitability.

PCM develops confidential yearly reports of each farmer’s environmental and financial strengths and weaknesses offering data summaries to be applied to the farm.
