The Upper Ohio Conservation District in cooperation with USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) will hold a local work group meeting to discuss conservation programs for 2024-2025 and provide guidance for the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). The meeting will be held Thursday, April 25 at 6:00 p.m. at the WV Northern Community College, New Martinsville Campus, 141 Main St., New Martinsville, WV 26155.
The local work group includes representatives from cooperating federal, state, and local conservation organizations and is open to all farmers, agricultural producers, and forest owners/managers. If you have thought about applying for one of the programs NRCS has to offer or have questions about what might be available to you, this meeting is a great opportunity for you to learn more.
As part of NRCS’s locally led process of administering programs, public comments will be sought from attendees on how to best prioritize USDA dollars for your local area.
