County conservation partners host Local Work Group meeting Feb. 5

The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Texas’ Medina County and the Medina Valley Soil and Water Conservation District cordially invite the public to attend their FY20 Local Working Group (LWG) meeting February 5, 2019, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.
The purpose of this annual LWG meeting is to set local conservation priorities and bring conservation stakeholders together to discuss conservation topics and issues relevant to helping Medina County farmers and ranchers better conserve on-farm natural resources.
The agenda of the meeting is to update attendees on recent conservation efforts and to collect public input to help guide future conservation activities. Through regular identification of conservation opportunities, effective Farm Bill investment can continue to benefit Medina County. Farmers, ranchers, conservationists, and others interested in obtaining Federal technical and financial assistance to improve private land in Medina County are invited to participate.
