The Keystone Soil and Water Conservation Society is again sponsoring mini-grants to be used to promote cover cropping.

The purpose of this grant will be to help conduct a cover crop "walkabout" to show producers examples of how last fall's cover crops look this spring.

The Society will be awarding up to 7 mini-grants, with each grantee receiving $150.

For more information and for an application form, contact your local conservation district and Penn State Extension offices or contact Bill Clouser, SCC at wclouser@state.pa.us or Diana Sturrock, NRCS at diana.sturrock@pa.usda.gov .
