How do best management practices impact the health of the environment?

Best management practices help improve the health of the environment by reducing some of the negative impacts associated with agricultural production.  

These practices can be aimed at addressing many different environmental resource concerns. However, not all methods work the same in every situation.  

For example, every farm is different because soil, landscape, and location conditions can vary drastically. To be effective, best management practices should be tailored to fit producers’ circumstances.
