The Agricultural Conservation Easement Program-Agricultural Land Easement (ACEP-ALE) helps landowners, land trusts, and other entities protect, restore, and enhance wetlands or protect working farms and ranches through conservation easements. This video explores how Bobby and Robbie Jewell implement this conservation program on their operation in Decorah, Iowa.
Major benefits of this program include:
• Protecting working lands
• Promoting conservation
• Protecting land from development
• Conserving natural resources
• Offers monetary incentives
The Conservation at Work video series was created to increase producer awareness of common conservation practices and was filmed at various locations throughout the country. Because conservation plans are specific to the unique resource needs on each farm and soil type, weather conditions, etc., these videos were designed to serve as a general guide to the benefits of soil and water conservation and landowners should contact their local USDA office for individual consultation.
