Topics include drought management planning for local farms and ranches and setting priorities for natural resource funding in Lampasas and Burnet Counties for the next fiscal year. Participants will be asked to provide input to determine natural resource priorities and criteria for NRCS conservation and program planning for the upcoming fiscal year as part of the annual Local Work Group.  Through this process, local agriculture stakeholders can help shape plans and priorities for future projects, identify where the best investments can be made to address natural resource issues, and review the work that has already be done in Lampasas and Burnet counties.

Two general Texas Department of Agriculture continuing education credits (CEUs) for non-commercial pesticide applicator license holders will be offered, the cost of which is sponsored by the Hill Country SWCD.  Light refreshments will be served.
