Agency funds conservation projects at Yolo farms
Funding is available for ranchland and pastureland conservation projects in Yolo County, through the Natural Resources Conservation Service’s field office in Woodland. Practices such as livestock water development, proper road maintenance, erosion control, rangeland planting, grazing management, pasture planting and pond restoration and creek restoration are eligible for funding.
The program offers farmers and ranchers financial incentives to implement voluntary conservation projects. Plans could include livestock water development, cross fencing, wildlife habitat enhancement, irrigation efficiency, invasive species management and rotational grazing systems. Once a conservation plan is finalized, it can be submitted for funding.
For the past three years NRCS has obligated $774,251 on 15,659 acres of rangeland and pastureland in Yolo County.
