Evaluation plan: A two tiered approach will be used: 1) Agricultural Program area staff will be surveyed on how many farm plans they developed with farmers. These farm plans will include nutrient management, succession plans, whole farm plans, pest management plans, conservation plans, and easements, amongst others. 2) Those ag staff who developed such plans with farmers will be asked to identify any behavior changes that resulted from these plans. Data will be collected in terms of action changes and will be anonymous, thus not linked to any specific farms.
