In January 2015, the Clermont Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) was award- ed a five-year, $600,000 grant through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Resource Conservation Partnership Program to help reduce nutrient loadings through agricultural conservation practices such as cover crops, filter strips, nutri- ent management and more. “For several years, Clermont SWCD and its partners in the East Fork Watershed Cooperative have been working with farmers to install these conservation practices, and the cooperation we have received from the farmers has been tremendous,” said John McManus, Administrator for Clermont SWCD. “I think this grant is a reflec- tion of the dedication of the farmers and the support of the Cooperative. I believe we were able to receive this grant because of these partnerships.” BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Lori Lenhart, the District Conservationist for USDA’s Natural Resources Conserva- tion Service, stated “Along with the more traditional conservation practices, we have David Anspach added gypsum application as an option under this grant. -
