Author: Tammy Brewster-Barnes
Planning Unit: Agriculture and Natural Resources Programs
Major Program: Water and Soil Quality and Conservation
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
On going efforts with CD, Agents, producer associations, FSA to provide farmer education and environmental compliance plans to protect or improve water quality in Kentucky. Education and technical assistance was provided via Zoom, phone, email or in-person. Since the KY Division of Water has shifted funding for KY NMP development from Cooperative Extension to CD, education focus has been on trainings that enable CD staff and agents to produce conservation plans that will be accepted by FSA for loan requirements. Plans for individual producers are still developed, but in a decreased capacity.
