| Impact Report | Local NRCS/FSA Collaborative efforts. The agent collaborates on a regular basis with the local NRCS and FSA office to keep informed on programming and services offered by those service agency. The NAP assessment, recently removed from the responsibility of the Agent and a local NRCS representative in determining loss number, is a controversial issue in De Baca County. Rain fall and drought conditions are particularly difficult to measure across the county as any rainfall is usually spotty and drought conditions persist beyond one single year of adequate moisture. Not utilizing local agriculture experts such as the Extension Agent and a qualified NRCS individual leaves area producers at a disadvantage when applying for federal assistance. These have been ongoing talks between the agencies and local producers over the course of the past few years. The agent attends regular advisory meetings with the NRCS and FSA to stay informed and continues to collaborate with the benefit of local producers in mind. |
