Top three time-saving advantages using NRCS Conservation Client Gateway
agri deh nrcs online service

 SALINA – Farmers put in long days. Driving to the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) office every time paperwork needs to be signed is not always productive. With Conservation Client Gateway, a producer can do most of their business with NRCS online. Farmers using Conservation Client Gateway find these three things to be the most advantageous for them. 

Advantage 1 – sign documents electronically. It is a secure way to sign contracts online. Viewing and printing documents at the farmer’s convenience saves time. Plus, everything is logically organized and easy to find. For many farmers that have a long drive to the USDA office, or have multiple projects going on with no time to spare, this feature is a tremendous time saver.   

Advantage 2 – Kep track of payments. Everyone wants to know when they are getting paid. With Conservation Client Gateway, you can get payment status online without the need for a phone call or waiting for a call back.

 Advantage 3 – Request conservation practice certification or technical assistance. Submitting certification online speeds up the process-no need for a special trip to the USDA Service Center. And by asking technical questions online, NRCS is better able to reply with more detailed information that can be read online and available to go back to anytime.   

“Many farmers in the surrounding states have really appreciated its time-saving features- use is growing in Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, and Texas. Over 1,700 farmers are using this nationwide. We’d like to see Kansas farmers adopt this to help them get more time back in their day,” said Eric B. Banks, Kansas NRCS state conservationist. “We have new initiatives underway to get the word out and show how easy Conservation Client Gateway is to use. Farmers can expect to see more demonstrations at partner events and field demonstrations this year. Saving time, being more productive, and most of all convenience-we hope our farmers and ranchers explore the possibilities with this application.”
