The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the Oklahoma Tribal Conservation Advisory Council (OTCAC) and Farm Service Agency (FSA) will partner together for a free conservation workshop on Thursday, May 11, 2023.
Join the agencies to discuss free technical assistance and conservation funding opportunities. You will also learn how producers can gather soil moisture and climate data from Tribal Soil Climate Analysis Network (Tribal SCAN) to assist with their conservation decisions regarding livestock and crops, and how to extract data on soil moisture and climate for livestock and crops. NRCS staff will provide information regarding soil fertility, how to take a soil test, managing grazing land during a drought, and the benefits of a seasonal high tunnel.
Partners who will provide USDA program updates include NRCS, FSA, and the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). Conservation district partners from Carter, Garvin, Jefferson, Love, Murray, and Stephens Counties will be available to share information on their state cost share funds and the locally led process.
