The Local Work Group provides a forum for partners, farm, ranch, and forestry representatives as well as conservation groups to discuss natural resource problems that should be prioritized by Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). The group assists in guiding NRCS where to use Farm Bill funds for technical and financial assistance in the future.
