locally, is designed to help farmers get established — and extend their accomplishments -- in conservation farming, and in wildlife conservation. The ACP is a costsharing arrangement through which the public joins with farmers and ranchers to conserve and protect all the soil, water, woodland and wildlife resources. Nationally the public shares about half the cost of carrying out approved conservation practices on farmland. Chairman Barksdale reported. Here in Rappahannock County the rates for different practices vary. He stressed that this program is entirely voluntary. The farmer chooses the kind of practice he wants to carry out. The committee approves his request based on needs of the land and feasibility of the practice, and upon availability of funds in the current year’s program. Farmers pay their half (or share) of the total cost in cash, labor, use of equipment, or conservation -materials. Some practices are approved primarily for the benefit of wildlife, food, vater or cover. Many practices that are primarily for conservation of soil, water and woodland also provide food, water and cover for wildlife.
