HCCD Receives Funds for Cost-Share Program

The Hughes County Conservation District will be conducting a sign-up period for the Conservation Cost-Share Program funded by the Oklahoma Conservation Commission. The District has approved the practice of Pasture & Hay Planting with Nutrient Management for Program Year 12 with any excess funds to possible be made available for Pond Construction.

The cost-share rate for both the Pasture & Hay Planting and Nutrient Management has been set at 75% of the average cost of the practice with Pasture & Hay Planting not to exceed $1,800 and Nutrient Management not to exceed $1,200 per applicant if approved. This would bring the total cost-share amount to $3,000. Ranking criteria has been established to rank all applications and approve the funding for those eligible applications. Eligibility requirements for this program include: must either be or become a District Cooperator; must have at least 20 acres of land from which $1,000 of soil dependent products are sold annually.

Approved applicants must complete conservation practices to Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) specifications to be certified as complete and no practices may be started until the Hughes County Conservation District has notified the successful applicant.

Applications will be accepted at the Hughes County Conservation District office located at 419 East Highway, Holdenville until end of business on Friday, March 5, 2010. For further information, please contact the Hughes County Conservation District at (405) 379-2570 or the Natural Resources Conservation Service at (405) 379-3561 ext. 101.
