West Virginia Farmers Overcome Drought with State Conservation Support

With cost-share funding available through the West Virginia Conservation Agency’s Exigency Program, cooperators could purchase water components for livestock and receive assistance with irrigating crops, connecting/tapping into a city water line, and planting cover crops.
