Farm Bill, Programs Update, & Priorities

This presentation outlines the NRCS's approach to monitoring conservation practices on agricultural land, with a focus on seasonal high tunnels and the New England Cottontail. Set to commence in the Northern New England watersheds, specifically in Oyster, Lower Lamprey, and Squamscott River areas, the program allocates $2 million for equipment, setup, monitoring, and quality assurance. NRCS will cover 75% of the costs, with a project timeframe of 5 to 9 years and key decisions anticipated in July 2013.
