Initiative
Identify and address potential environmental risks on your farm.
Completing an EFP is completely voluntary and free.
Your regional technician is available before, during and after completing your EFP.
With day to day responsibilities pulling us in all directions, it’s hard to find time to even think too hard about the future, much less plan for it.
That’s where we come in. The EFP walks you through step by step, highlighting areas that need attention on your operation and coming up with a plan to address those areas. Addressing environmental risks not only benefits your operation, but also the next generation of farmers.
You are probably already doing great things on your operation. Completing an EFP provides you with the opportunity to demonstrate your commitment to environmental stewardship.
The Environmental Farm Plan (EFP) is an opportunity to assess areas of strength and potential environmental risks on your farming operation. It provides you with increased awareness of areas of potential environmental concern and helps outline site-specific, individualized plans to address, monitor or compensate these risks. It is voluntary and free, and it considers the farming operation as a whole. The EFP program offers all of this in an easy to use, flexible, online format.
Fill in some basic information about your farm and you’ll receive a confirmation email to activate your account.
Once you activate your account, you will be assigned a technician from your region. You can reach out to your technician for support at any point.
