USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) wants to remind farmers, ranchers and private landowners that many of the business issues they may need to take care of with NRCS can be done right there from their home or farm office. NRCS offers their secure online portal called Conservation Client Gateway. Through it you can request NRCS technical and financial assistance, review and sign conservation plans and practice schedules, request and track payments for conservation programs and more. NRCS Acting Chief Leonard Jordan says it’s a great way of doing business when you don’t have the time to drive in to your local USDA service center.
