Absentee landowners may designate on the landowner authorization form a person to sign for them. The form will need to be completed at the time of sign-up or before the sign-up begins.
At the June SWCD board meeting, names will be randomly drawn to establish an order in which landowners will receive cost-share assistance for terraces, waterways, diversions, or other practices that apply to cropland erosion. Row crop fields that have been planted in oats, wheat, or left idle will take priority.
If your field is not ready you will be skipped over and picked back up in the future providing money is available.
Applications will be accepted for structures (ponds). Landowners that have applied for structures in previous years do not need to reapply. Names will stay on the list until the site has been inspected and evaluated for cost-share eligibility.
Beginning July 1, SWCD staff will start with the first landowner on the list and proceed thru the list, staking practices for those that are ready at the beginning of July. The district will hold another sign-up as the list is nearing depletion.
