The Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service awarded a $108,491.80 Cooperative Agreement to the Giving Grace Farmers & Fishermen Cooperative, a small agricultural cooperative and non-profit organization, to conduct outreach efforts to increase awareness and customer application of NRCS programs among socially disadvantaged, historically underserved, limited resource, women, veterans, and beginning farmers and ranchers in Louisiana. The funding will be used to engage this target population in the Soil and Water Conservation program (CFDA 10.902), which provides conservation technical assistance to private landowners, conservation districts, tribes, and other organizations through a national network of locally-respected, technically-skilled, professional conservationists.
