As part of a multi-agency effort led by Virginia Cooperative Extension, a statewide survey is now open to document voluntary best management practices on farms within the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Many farmers take proactive steps to preserve soil and water health — such as cover crops, streamside butters, and rotational grazing — without accepting cost-share funding or reporting their efforts. The survey seeks to close that gap. By capturing these unreported efforts, it will help better reflect the full extent of agricultural contributions to soil health and water quality across Virginia.
