(SPRINGFIELD) A farming program in Illinois aims to improve farm incomes and environmental outcomes. Precision Conservation Management recently released a summary of nine years worth of in-field data from statewide farms. Producers enrolled in PCM receive annual data analysis for their farm, in addition to access to conservation experts and guidance on cost-share programs available to farmers. Through their data analysis, the program aims to identify conservation practices that effectively address environmental issues without risking the farmers’ bottom line. Farmers in Kentucky and Nebraska are also taking part in the high tech program along with the Land of Lincoln.
