From ATTRA's wonderful Weekly Harvest newsletter, this is a heads up to some nice changes that you might want to listen up for.  Kitt Healy or I will send these out to our email list when they are finalized.  But here is interim information:

Changes to Conservation Stewardship Program Announced by NRCS
USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service has announced a significant update to the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP). Beginning with this year's enrollment period, the program will feature redesigned planning and evaluation tools and nearly double the number of enhancements and conservation practice opportunities.

You are encouraged to visit with your local NRCS office.  Just let us know if you need help connecting with them.
