Local Workgroup Meetings

The West Virginia Conservation Districts are conducting Local Work Group meetings to identify agricultural related resource issues and develop Farm Bill funding recommendations. Individuals and agencies with expertise in ag-related natural resource issues are invited to attend and participate. Listed below are the dates of scheduled Local Work Group meetings. If you have an interest in attending any of the Local Work Groups, feel free to contact the local Conservation Districts directly.

At this time, it is unknown what the Farm Bill funding appropriations will be, nor is it known what the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) rules will be. It may be necessary for Districts to hold a second meeting to refine their proposals once the funding levels and Rules are known. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the Local Conservation District directly, or call Jim Piper, Assistant State Conservationist for Operations, at 304-284-7540.
