Area farms and ranches experiencing severe drought conditions may be eligible for cost-share assistance under the Emergency Conservation Program, officials have announced.
This disaster program is administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency, which provides cost-share assistance if the damage is so severe that water available for livestock or orchards and vineyards has been reduced below normal, and to the extent that neither can survive without additional water. A producer qualifying for ECP assistance may not exceed 75 percent of the cost of installing eligible temporary measures or 50 percent cost share for permanent measures.
