RENO, May 7—U.S. Department of Agriculture’s NRCS Chief Arlen Lancaster today announced that producers in three Nevada watersheds will have two additional weeks to apply for the Conservation Security Program in fiscal year 2008. The sign-up now ends on May 30.

According to Curtis Tarver, acting state conservationist for the NRCS in Nevada, Lancaster is extending the sign-up as much as possible to allow producers adequate time to gather natural resource information and complete the required self-assessment and applicant interview.  “This two-week extension represents the fullest accommodation we can make and still deliver a program this year,” said Tarver.
