* How wetlands function
* How wetlands can make many farms more efficient or more profitable
* Choosing a site for a wetland
* Managing wetland plants and wildlife (both desirable and invasive)
* Assessing the health of a wetland
* Legal issues surrounding wetlands

An extensive For More Information section provides links to the resources producers need to take the next steps.
