The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the Hamilton-Coryell Soil and Water Conservation District are seeking input from the public on how to best serve local citizens through Farm Bill conservation programs and technical assistance. The public is invited to attend their Fiscal Year 2023 Local Working Group (LWG) virtual meeting on April 13, 2022, from 10-11 a.m. To join the meeting call 1-888-387-8686 and enter passcode 2827768.
The meeting will be an opportunity to bring farmers, ranchers, conservationists and others together to discuss natural resource needs and set local conservation priorities. The information gathered at these listening sessions helps provide NRCS and the district the necessary technical and financial support to help land managers make ground management decisions that produce positive ecological outcomes at the local and state level.
The input helps determine collaborative efforts for natural resource priorities and identifies opportunities to address them with conservation practices that improve soils, watershed health, biodiversity and farmers’ livelihoods.
