Licking Soil & Water has 2 remaining meetings to learn about incentives available in our county. For each meeting our Ag Tech will be stationed at each site for 3-4hrs. The meetings will be May 14 from 7-10:30 a.m. at Ragamuffins in Alexandria and May 15 from 8-12 at the Cottage in Hanover. Producers will be able to casually drop in to ask questions and pick up additional info about the program. Our Ag Tech Tayler Coy has worked with the H2Ohio program going on 4 years now from his time in Paulding SWCD.
Incentives for new H2Ohio participants will be offered for the development and implementation of Voluntary Nutrient Management Plans (VNMPs), H2Ohio’s cornerstone practice that reduces the risk of the over-application of nutrients while also encouraging producers to use practices that best fit their farming operations. Funding for producers in the statewide expansion area allows for enrollment of 500,000 new acres statewide.
