USDA- NRCS Programs

We are hoping this page helps the landowners in our County to have all of the paperwork needed to apply for the NRCS programs in one place. 

Our two biggest programs are EQIP and CSP

You may check out the South Carolina USDA-NRCS website for information on both programs. 

LOCAL WORK GROUP INFO

The Federal Farm Bill asks that the local Conservation District provide input itself and obtain input from local people to help US Department of Agriculture programs benefit your county in the best way possible.

 

We are accepting questionnaires throughout the year from the public on our resource concerns in Lancaster County. 

 

Please review the information and list your concerns in order. Return your questionnaire to the Lancaster Soil and Water Conservation District. The questionnaires will be tallied and summarized to provide rankings for Lancaster County. You may return your questionnaire by fax, email or postal mail.

 

Thank you for your participation. We appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to fit federal programs to the county’s needs.

 

If you have questions please contact the Lancaster Soil and Water Conservation District Manager, Amanda Roberts at 803‐286‐4455, ext. 100.

 

Sincerely,

 Joe Ghent, Jr. Chairman
