Funds available to preserve grassland
LINCOLN — Nebraska landowners are being urged to apply for federal dollars to conserve grassland, including rangeland and pastureland.
They can apply for some of the $1 million that is available in the Grassland Reserve Program by July 1. Applications can be made at any USDA service center.
The goal of the program is to protect and restore existing grasslands for grazing operations and to improve plant and wildlife diversity. Landowners maintain ownership and can sign rental agreements or have a permanent conservation easement.
Priority will be given to land previously in the Conservation Reserve Program, if there is a threat of conversion to uses other than grazing. — AP
