Farmer (RFF) Program. The statewide initiative recognizes farmers,
who through good production management practices helps keep Indiana’s
rivers, lakes and streams clean.

Annually, each county Soil and Water Conservation District may nominate up to two farmers who do an outstanding job of protecting their rivers, lakes and streams through their every day conservation management practices on the farm.
