Program Description
The Forest Service considers America's
small farm operators as important
components in the Nation's forest health
and fiber supply. Many farm and ranch
owners are also woodlot owners, with
their aggregate acreage being a major
component of the privately owned,
forestland in America. Many farmers
and ranchers participate in Forest
Service programs that improve the
health and productivity of their forested
lands. The Forest Service is also very
active in the Secretary of Agriculture's
National Commission on Small Farms,
and the agency also participates
regularly in farm and ranch related
activities at both the national and
regional levels.
