Speakers will present information about current opportunities to obtain financial and technical assistance through programs administered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). The agency provides assistance to producers, farmers, ranchers, forest owners and Tribes to help implement conservation practices. Payments for implementing practises includes those that offset costs incurred, and those that support acquiring technical knowledge, training, record-keeping, and monitoring, and costs associated with income foregone. Insight into the kinds of conservation practices available to address range and animal-related needs as well as technical services available from NRCS will also be discussed.
