The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the Lamb County Soil and Water Conservation Districts 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) meeting February 6, 2023, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Lamb County Electric Co-op Inc building with refreshments being served.
This meeting is 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 Districts the necessary technical and financial support to help land managers make on-the ground management decisions that produce positive ecological outcomes at the local and state level. This 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.
Conservation stakeholders and others interested in obtaining Federal technical and financial assistance to improve private land in Lamb County are encouraged to participate in this meeting.
