In this episode of Talking Crop, Resource Conservationist with the Winnebago County Soil and Water Conservation District, Katie Peterson, and host, Kathryn Seebruck, discuss the difference between the Natural Resources Conservation Service and Soil and Water Conservation Districts, they cover cost-share programs that the Soil and Water Conservation Districts offer in addition to some offered by the NRCS, and they discuss how a farmer or landowner would find more information about these programs and work with their local offices. They also discussed a resource offered by the Illinois Sustainable Ag Partnership that compiles all of the offered cost-share programs into one neat database.
