Max Armstrong wraps up the week with a look at some of the restoration work by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The work emphasized the use of vegetation for stream health, including the promotion of the use of native grasses. NRCS has developed a range of science-based tools and standards that field conservationists use to help farmers develop practices and solutions to preserve soil and water quality.

Farm Progress America is a daily look at key issues in agriculture. It is produced and presented by Max Armstrong, veteran farm broadcaster and host of This Week in Agribusiness.
