Conservation
Security Program (CSP) Sign-Up
The USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service and Hidalgo Soil and
Water Conservation District have announced the 2008 Conservation
Security Program (CSP) sign-up, for Animas Valley and Cloverdale
watershed participants. The sign-up opportunity will run 4/18/2008
- 5/16/2008. There will be a public information meeting at the
Animas Community Center in Animas, New Mexico, on Monday, April 21 at
6:00 PM. This is likely to be the only CSP sign-up for the Animas
Valley and Cloverdale watersheds under the current Farm Bill, and any
future sign-ups at these watersheds are likely to be five to seven years
in the future. Parties wishing copies of the Self Assessment
Workbook can contact the Lordsburg Field Office or visit
www.nm.nrcs.usda.gov.
Completed self-assessments will be accepted from 4/18 to 5/16/2008.
Participants are also encouraged to work with the Farm Services Agency
(FSA) to ensure their records are up to date.
NRCS
Launches National Campaign
The purpose and passion for conservation is shared among many. It
is shared between NRCS employees and partners who help people help the
land. And it is shared by the landowners with whom we work.
A new national NRCS campaign, "Conservation: Our Purpose, Our Passion,"
captures a sliver of these efforts through the stories of our producers
and employees. While we could portray the stories of 500 producers
and 180-some employees here in New Mexico, we are limited to sharing
only a few. You are familiar with the many stories about our
producers that we herald in the Natural Resources Reporter.
In this issue, in addition to including a vignette about an enthralling
producer who was a code talker in WWII, we take this opportunity to brag
about three of our employees - giving a little insight to their purpose
. . . their passion. For the Full Story

Code Talker Honors NRCS Personnel

history, as a Navajo Code Talker in World War II. For
