He says the Climate Stewardship Act provides incentives for producers in battling climate change.
Maxwell says the Climate Stewardship Act will assist those new and beginning farmers as well as those farmers who are socially disadvantaged.
Maxwell says positive provisions in the legislation include voluntary incentives for conservation, renewable energy and local food system programs.
