Minnesota Locally Led Conservation and Local Work Groups

               

                   WHY LOCALLY LED CONSERVATION MATTERS

Local Working Groups assist the USDA in matters relating to the implementation and technical aspects of conservation programs under Title II of the Farm Bill Agricultural Act. The Local Working Group may be composed of the local Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD), agricultural producers representing the variety of crops and livestock or poultry raised within the local area, nonindustrial private forest land owners, and other professionals representing relevant agricultural and conservation interests and a variety of disciplines in the soil, water, plant, wetland, and wildlife sciences who are familiar with private land agricultural and natural resource issues in the local community.
