The 2023 Henry Co SWCD Arbor Day Tree Giveaway was a success despite the stormy weather.  Thank you to everyone who braved the weather to attend.  We set up a drive-through system to keep everyone out of the rain and were still able to give away over 1400 seedlings.

NRCS Tennessee State Conservationist Sheldon Hightower announced the 2023 Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) Classic application deadline. Tennessee agricultural producers who wish to be considered for funding this fiscal year should apply by Thursday, March 23, 2023. 

“Through CSP, NRCS helps farmers and ranchers earn payments for maintaining their current level of conservation across their entire operation,” said Hightower. “CSP also provides the opportunity for farm operators to expand their conservation activities by adopting new technologies and management techniques.”

CSP provides many benefits, including increased crop yields, decreased inputs, wildlife habitat improvements, and increased resilience to weather extremes. The program is for working lands including cropland, pastureland, rangeland, nonindustrial private forestland, and agricultural land under the jurisdiction of a tribe. Farmsteads and other associated agricultural lands are also included. CSP also provides specific support for organic and transitioning to organic producers.

Recently, the Henry Co SWCD awarded HCHS an educational grant for a new hydroponics project for HCHS students. Hydroponics is the process of growing plants in a nutrient solution and water, instead of soil.

The project is off to a great start, and we can't wait to receive future updates & photos from HCHS/FFA students & staff.
