Thank you to the many program cooperators who helped with outreach and delivery of the Farm Water Quality Planning courses. Thank you especially to the USDA-NRCS, our program partner, as well as numerous members of the Farm Water Quality Planning working group who guided program development. Special thanks to the RCDs and Coalitions that provided outreach and speakers for so many courses. This was truly a collaborative effort that could not have happened without the expertise and generous contributions of program partners and cooperators.

Thank you to the sponsors of the Farm Water Quality Planning program. When we began the project, it was expected we would hold education for five hundred growers over a three year period. With continued support from sponsors, the course ended up running for over six years. Over two thousand growers have attended the program.
