Promote cover crops to improve soil biology, organic matter content and other physical and chemical soil properties.
• Promote improve tillage practices that least disturb soil structure and increase awareness to plant new shelter belts to minimize "wind and water erosion".
• Develop "extension educational programs" for producers, extension agents and other stakeholders in cooperation with other educators.
