Abstract
This paper addresses methods for the
State of Georgia to increase the impact of federal and
state dollars, in the event that a state cost share program is
enacted. The Georgia Farm Assessment System
(Farm*A*Syst) self-assessments are a powerful tool
when used in combination with a states' available
assistance programs and educational resources. The
value of cost share programs can be improved using the
Georgia Farm*A*Syst self-assessments by increasing the
environmental impacts per dollar invested through
conservation practices. Georgia Farm*A*Syst serves as a
method to identify and prioritize the risks for causing
environmental, health, economic, and/or regulatory
problems. By targeting- the corrective action to this risk
area, Farm*A*Syst guarantees that federal and state
funding are effectively supporting the agricultural
sector's ability to protect the environment and improve
water quality.
