Ag Outreach & Programming

LCCD exists to assist local farmers in management practices that preserve and protect our natural resources so that our farms can be productive for generations to come.

We are here to help!

LCCD is non-reporting, non-regulatory, and is not a government entity. Our assistance is confidential and is meant to help farmers acquire resources and information to best care for our working landscape. The brochure below goes over some of our central services of RAP compliance and Nutrient Management Plans:

In addition to Nutrient Management Planning and RAP assistance, LCCD also provides the following services to farmers:

Soil and manure sampling, and assistance in applying these data
Water quality training
Assistance in organic certification
Farm viability consultation
Pre-side dress soil nitrate test sampling
Map making
Nutrient management plan updates and upkeep

Consulting in receiving state and federal funds for your best practices or new projects on farm
