Helping Gulf Coast Farmers Increase Environmental Improvements

The video discusses how agriculture in Alabama's coastal counties is improving water quality through practices supported by USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service. The Gulf of Mexico initiative aims to enhance water quality and wildlife habitat across five states. Farmer Jay Corti uses precision agriculture to reduce runoff and improve soil health, motivated by personal reasons to maintain water quality in the Gulf. Landowners interested in these initiatives are encouraged to contact their local NRCS office.
