    Ranchers in the American West haven’t had a good way to measure how their grass is faring — until now. @USDA and partners developed the Rangeland Analysis Platform (RAP) to track changes in the amount and types of plants growing on a rancher’s property. bit.ly/3aQ1jgM

    Loretta Lynn was more than a country music icon, she was an ally to farmers and a promoter of soil conservation, even recording PSAs for NRCS' predecessor, the Soil Conservation Service, in the summer of 1980. bit.ly/3yeRV1c
