This event is commonly referred to in the natural resource community as a Local Work Group Meeting. This meeting is open to all residents, farmers, farm workers, forest owners, loggers and resource professionals. Your feedback will be considered by regional professionals in natural resource management and agriculture and incorporated into the NRCS ranking system for awarding financial assistance to producers.It is critical that we incorporate the goals and needs of Baxter County residents into developing priorities for program direction and funding. We need your help to decide which challenges you are facing on your land or in the community of Baxter County, along with the appropriate solutions for these challenges.Following the Local Work Group Meeting, we will hold our annual Fall Pasture Conference/Field Day Event. These events are a gathering of agricultural stakeholders aimed at educating participants about specific management practices, promoting sustainable practices, discussions about emerging trends in agriculture and showcasing innovative technologies. There will be concurrent breakout sessions. One session will be focused on topics for beginning farmers and the other session focused on topics for experienced farmers.
