NRCS assistance deadline Sept. 30
Monday, August 25, 2008COLUMBIA - The deadline for individuals wanting assistance from the Natural Resources Conservation Service for two of its Farm Bill programs is Sept. 30.
The NRCS provides financial and technical assistance to help South Carolina landowners address natural resource concerns, promote environmental quality, and protect wildlife habitat on property they own or control.
The cost-share funds are available through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program and the Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program, both administered by NRCS.
There is a continuous sign-up for these programs; however, to increase chances of funding, applying by Sept. 30 is advised. Producers interested in applying should visit their local USDA Service Center as soon as possible to prepare their applications.
