Cost-share dollars are available to producers within the Whitman
Conservation District for a wide range of improvements and practices.
Cost-share funding aids producers while also enabling implementation of Best
Management Practices (BMPs) that contribute to improved water quality.
Interested? Please stop by the office - We welcome your
inquiries and can assist you with the application worksheet and application for Cost-Share
assistance. Applications are reviewed for approval by the District Board at each
month's meeting (7:30 pm, 2nd Thursday each month).
