The 2002 farm bill provides a potential new funding source through its land retirement programs to support environmental and water conservation efforts in Arizona. Although Arizona traditionally has not gained much from these programs, recent developments could place the state in a more favorable funding position. This could be a timely opportunity since the new bill provides increased funding for land retirement programs.
