How Should USDA Farm Bill Funding Be Allocated? Local Work Group Meeting Announcement

Lincoln County and Kennebec County Soil & Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs), in cooperation with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Augusta field office, will host the annual meeting of the Lincoln-Kennebec Local Work Group (LWG) on December 17th, Noon to 2pm at the Augusta City Hall (16 Cony Street in Augusta).

Taking into account local resource concerns, Local Work Groups make recommendations to NRCS on how to spend USDA Farm Bill funds for agricultural and forestry conservation practices on private lands.  

If you are: an agricultural producer; forester, logger or private woodland owner; member of an environmental or watershed organization or land trust; knowledgeable in soil, water, plant, wetland or wildlife sciences; and/or are familiar with agricultural and natural resource concerns in Lincoln or Kennebec counties, we invite you to attend this meeting to help 1) identify and prioritize local conservation concerns; and 2) recommend how local funds for USDA Environmental Quality Incentive Programs (EQIP) will be distributed by NRCS to address resource needs.
