Water

Water quality is maximized by keeping soil stabilized and protected with plants such as pasture grass, cover crops, and trees. This includes practices to keep soil in place, maintaining plant borders that help filter water before it gets to streams and waterways, and installing fences to minimize livestock in streams.
You can learn more about clean water practices through the photo captions below.
