land-grant universities, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS), and the USDA Agricultural
Research Service (ARS) prepared, peer reviewed, and
pilot tested the LPES curriculum with assistance
from MidWest Plan Service (MWPS) and guidance
from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's
(EPA's) National Agriculture Compliance Center
(Ag Center). The LPES curriculum development
effort was funded by a grant from the EPA's Ag
Center .with program oversight through the USDA.
