S.T.A.R. collaborates with Precision Conservation Management (PCM) to allow farmers and landowners to enter S.T.A.R. data on-line and save it in the PCM system. Together, we hope to grow and support our respective programs and expand to meet future needs of farmers and farm businesses in our communities.
More than 70+ Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) in counties across Illinois support S.T.A.R. and can assist with the program. Visit your local SWCD to complete a field form. Please use the directory below to identify your local SWCD for support.
If you are outside Illinois, please contact your local star@ccswcd.com and we will put you in touch with someone to find more information about the process in your state. If your state is not participating, you are welcome to with the process described herein.
