Conservation
healing the land while working for you
Greenville- April 7, 2015 - Have you ever seen the sky tinted brown
with soil blown from a bare field on a windy day? Maybe you've
seen a lake or stream that was green from algae growing out of
control. These things are signs that the land and the water are
hurting and need our help. The people working at the Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) are conservationists who know the
signs ofland that's hurting and help people working with the land to
heal it.
Anyone working with the land to grow a crop, a forest, raise animals,
or produce vegetables and fruit for sale is a farmer. You may
never have gone to see your local conservationist before, either
because you don't classify yourself as a farmer or because you've
been discriminated against in the past when you asked for help.
Limited resource, beginning and historically underserved producers are
encouraged to check out the services offered by NRCS. Even if you
have worked with us in the past, we urge you to join us to learn about
the latest, greatest treatments for healing the land.
During the month of April, your District Conservationist invites you to
come and hear how we can help people using the land. We will show
how together we can treat the land to make it healthier so it can grow
more food. Topics such as soil health and cover crops will be
discussed. We'll also talk about ways to pay for these
treatments, using our conservation technical assistance programs.
A meeting will be held in Greenville on April 22, 2015 ftom 2:00-5:00
pm in the NRCS/Darke SWCD office. Please join us for this
informative session!
