LWG meeting set Feb. 21

The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Texas’ Shackelford and Stephens Counties along with the Lower Clear Fork of the Brazos Soil and Water Conservation District cordially invite the public to attend their FY 2020 Local Working Group (LWG) meeting Feb. 21, at 1:00 p.m.  The meeting will be held at the INTERBANK location in Breckenridge in the front meeting room. 

The purpose of this annual LWG meeting is to set local conservation priorities and bring conservation stakeholders together to discuss conservation topics and issues relevant to helping Shackelford County farmers and ranchers better conserve on-farm natural resources.  

The agenda of the meeting is to update attendees on recent conservation efforts and to collect public input to help guide future conservation activities.  

Through regular identification of conservation opportunities, effective Farm Bill investment can continue to benefit Shackelford and Stephens Counties. 

Farmers, ranchers, conservationists, and others interested in obtaining Federal technical and financial assistance to improve private land in Shackelford County are invited to participate.
