In 2013 a working group was formed to explore partnership opportunities to enhance sustainable agriculture in Southern Montana. The USDA Farm Bill created the RCPP (Regional Conservation Partnership Program) as a tool to invest public resources in improving conservation, restoration & sustainable use of our natural resources. Beartooth RC&D worked with Partners, including MillerCoors, to create the Yellowstone Regional Ag Sustainability Project, a mix of private industry and public partners. The EQIP funding model assists producers in adopting conservation practices and identifying BMP's for irrigated barley and beet rotations.​
