The public is invited to attend the Barton County Conservation District and Natural Resources Conservation Service annual Local Work Group Meeting at 9:30 a.m. on April 2 at American AgCredit, 5634 10th St. in Great Bend. The purpose of this meeting is to get feedback from our local producers, agricultural groups and all businesses, about our USDA/NRCS programs such as Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) and Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and the Cost Share programs available through the Barton County Conservation District.

This feedback will be routed through the Kansas State Conservationist along with the information gathered from all other counties in Kansas. 

It is also a good time to get information on programs you may not be aware are available to you.
