Many in the equine industry are unaware that there are State Cost-share and NRCS programs available to them. Through one on one communications, presentations given to the Thoroughbred Farm Managers Club members and to participants at the UK Equine Showcase program and informational booths at farm field days, many subsequent farm visits were made to discuss soil and water conservation.  Several of these visits were to small farms and many have communicated with me that they are in the process of signing up these programs or have taken advantage of these programs.
