You Can Be a HUSKER F.A.R.M.

Balancing the needs of producers with the need for ground and surface water stewardship.

The program that provides corn growers with a free guide to
improving the use of Best Management Practices on their farms.

Every farm is unique.  Yet every farmer faces the same challenge: producing corn efficiently and profitably while using the best management practices (BMPs) that reduce the movement of crop protection products from fields into surface and ground water.

The Nebraska Corn Growers Association, through the HUSKER F.A.R.M. Program, is helping producers identify those management practices that are best for their farm, and most effective in protecting our water resources.

We'll Help You Develop a Best Management Practices Plan:

In the future, farm program payments will likely be linked to BMPs.  It is in every producer's interest, therefore, for every farm to have a Best Management Practices plan.  The HUSKER F.A.R.M. Program is designed to help the producer develop a plan that provides stewardship of ground and surface water resources while allowing for efficient and profitable production.

Free and Confidential Consultation

When you enroll in the HUSKER F.A.R.M. Program, a consultant will join you in a review of your operation to help determine which management practices are best for your famr, with the future of your operation always in mind.

The consultant and review are free of any charge and are completely confidential.  The review will include a free analysis of your home drinking water.

Getting Started

Call the Nebraska Corn Growers Association at 888-267-6479 to arrange a confidential Best Management Practices review of your operation.  A professional consultant will help you gather the necessary information and complete the review without charge or obligation.

Upon completion of a BMP review, the HUSKER F.A.R.M. Program recognizes farmers who adopt Best Management Practices by awarding them the Nebraska Corn Growers Association designation of HUSKER F.A.R.M.
