Landowner Testimonials

“If you own any ground that is a burden to farm next to a
creek or stream, (farm programs) provide you with the
opportunity to get something out of the ground without
necessarily farming it. It can’t hurt to look into all
of the options that are out there.”

Mike Van Lieshout,
Orleans County, NY

"Obviously we wanted some compensation for the program, but
that wasn't the primary motivation. It was putting some land
into conservation and giving something back."

Cory M., Manitowoc County landowner
Manitowoc County, WI

"The neighbor I bought the land from said, 'Go to the
conservation office every month and sign up'.
We signed up for everything."
