New USDA NRCS Conservation At Work Video Series Features Grant County Livestock Producer
LITTLE ROCK, ARK.
The USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service has unveiled a new video series, Conservation at Work, which consist of short, 90-second videos that highlight common conservation practices.
The videos shine the spotlight on farmers, ranchers, and forestland owners from across the U.S. who tell us their own conservation stories, and how practices are helping them protect and improve resources and save time and money. Grant County livestock producer Kenny Sites and Hot Spring County District Conservationist Derek Nokes are featured in a conservation video highlighting prescribed grazing.

“By sharing the conservation successes of our customers, we hope the videos will help educate our customers and the general public and motivate more farmers and landowners to consider conservation,” said Arkansas NRCS State Conservationist Mike Sullivan.
Some of the videos you might find helpful in Arkansas involve High Tunnels, Nutrient Management and Cover Crops.
