Cover Crop
Locally funded along with Stormwater Management,
this program will cost share on seed for overwintering
cover crops. The purpose of this program is to help
Warren County landowners with the necessary means to
plant a cover crop to
reduce degradation and
soil erosion. This year,
27 Warren County
producers utilized this
program and over 6,000
acres were covered
through winter months.
State Programs
We help Warren County producers get cost share
funding by administering the State Cost Share Program
and the County Agricultural Investment (CAIP)
program. Both the programs not only aid in protecting
and improving natural resources, they also bring
revenue to local business owners by utilizing their
goods and services for these practices. Over $50,000
was paid out to producers in state cost share and almost
$200,000 was reimbursed with the CAIP program.
Sponsorships
This year, WCCD
sponsored FFA, Household
Hazardous Waste Day, Ag.
Awareness Breakfast, and
the Bridge the Gap
campaign at Lost River
Cave.
Stock Removal
For Warren County residents, this program provides
free stock mortality pick-up. This is also locally funded
along with Stormwater Management. This program
aims to improve Warren County’s water Quality by
keeping the animals out of waterways and sinkholes. In
this program year, over 500 animals were properly
disposed.
Soil Testing
We offer free soil test
vouchers to Warren
County residents. This
is a great way to control
fertilize applications or
to resolve problem
areas in the home lawn
or garden.
Heavy Use Area
Locally funded along with Stormwater Mgmt., this
program offers cost share on rock and geotextile to
reduce soil erosion at barn and gateway entrances.
The purpose of this
program is to help
reduce soil erosion,
degradation, and
runoff pollution.
This year we had 36
participants.
