        Conservation Farming in the United States: The Methods and Accomplishments of the STEEP Program explains the success of the STEEP (Solutions to Economic and Environmental Problems) conservation project, currently in its third decade, which focuses on the Palouse and the western Pacific Northwest. Topics include integrated pest management; equipment for conservation farming; and conservation farming technology transfer to producers. Co-published with the Soil and Water Conservation Society, it details the importance of the STEEP model, including its history and development, and illustrates the potential for STEEP to serve as a global model for conservation farming.
