"At FSA, we represent the farmers and we're here to help these farmers in our area," District Manager David Williams said. "We have programs that many of our local farmers don't know is available to them. So we brought information with an overview of our services to hopefully give them an idea of how we can help." 

Williams continued by saying, "At NRCS, we have cost-share and incentive programs to assist with anything that can make farming more efficient and help with the environment, like improving soil or air quality, so we want to spread the word about these services, as well." More about these programs can be found at https://www.farmers.gov/  and https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/.
