The NRSC does a lot lot of good work concerning conservation practices. The Farm bill before congress is a mess and is loaded with earmarks(pork) . Most all of the subsidies and payments for not growing crops should be eliminated.

Host dialogue in Boise on conservation programs

 

Boise - Idaho Senator Mike Crapo and the Chief of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) will host an
open house on Tuesday to discuss conservation related issues affecting
agricultural operations.

of the Subcommittee on Rural Revitalization, Conservation, Forestry and
Credit, will join NRCS Chief Arlen Lancaster for the forum at the Ada
County Courthouse Commissioner's Chambers from 9:45 to 10:45 a.m. on

NRCS programs play a critical role in conserving and enhancing natural
resources across Idaho and the United States.  Recently, NRCS
conservation programs have been available to provide assistance to
ranchers in mitigating the environmental impact of recent wildfires.  

 

Crapo has said that the Conservation Title is one of his priorities for
the 2007 Farm Bill, and he wants to ensure that the programs authorized
through this title properly help producers address their conservation
challenges.  The drafting of the 2007 Farm Bill is underway and Crapo
and Lancaster are inviting interested Idahoans to join in this
discussion.

9:45 a.m.    Boise                Hosts open house on federal
