Local Conservation Priorities
Every county has specific conservation priorities set by the Local Working Group (LWG) — a committee of local ranchers, farmers, NRCS staff, and conservation partners. EQIP applications that address local priorities score higher in the ranking process.
We don’t have Kimble County’s specific LWG priorities yet.
Ask your local NRCS office: “What are the priority resource concerns in Kimble County?” This directly affects how your EQIP application is scored. You can also attend the annual LWG meeting — they’re open to all producers.
