A Local Working Group that provides advice on the priorities for many U.S. Department of Agriculture conservation programs will meet Thursday, June 11 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Lower Elkhorn Natural Resource District at 1508 Square Turn Boulevard in Norfolk.
The public is encouraged to attend and express their natural resource concerns. Ideas generated from the public will help the U.S. Department of Agriculture tailor their natural resource programs to meet the needs identified locally.
Typically, Nebraska NRCS obligates anywhere between $45 million to over $75 million dollars to farmers and ranchers statewide through NRCS conservation programs. These programs helped landowners and operators make natural resource improvements to their land, water, or wildlife. This funding was allocated according to the priorities set by the Local Working Group.
