NRCS Work Group 2021 Survey The Farm Bill designated the Local Working Groups as a subcommittee of the State Technical Committee. The Local Working Group's role is to provide similar recommendations and advice as the State Technical Committee, with a focus on the resource priorities of the local community. These priority resource concerns will be used to prioritize the rankings for USDA's Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) conservation programs including Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP). To participate in this survey you will need to be a resident of Union County, Indiana. This survey will be available until October 23, 2020. Please fill out the general information below. Choose only ten concerns or priorities from the list below. Then from the ten that you have chosen rank them from 1-10 (1 being the highest priority and 10 being the lowest priority). Not all listed items will be selected. At the bottom of the page are images that give a description of each concern or priority listed. There is also the results from 2020 NRCS Workgroup Survey for Union County. If you click on the image you will go to another page where you can click on the image again to enlarge it to full size. Thank you for your time and consideration. If you have any questions please e-mail Union County, Indiana contact@ucinswcd.org and/or call (765) 825-2331 extension 3.
