SWCD Board of Supervisors<br />
A long-standing relationship<br />
with Pheasants Forever has led to<br />
many successful initiatives. Since 1998, the SWCD<br />
has partnered with the Jackson County PF Chapter<br />
on the planting of over 119,000 trees on nearly 400<br />
acres at a cost of $81,394.46. These projects have<br />
been on General CRP, Continuous CRP and RIM<br />
contracts. PF has also been a huge supporter of the<br />
Farm Bill Assistance Technician, a staff position<br />
at the Jackson SWCD that promotes conservation<br />
options to landowners. In 1999 the Jackson SWCD<br />
was nominated as the local “<strong>Conservation</strong>ist of the<br />
Year” for coordination of the Switchgrass Seed<br />
Distribution Project. The SWCD also developed the<br />
Max Habitat Program for CREP II which a short<br />
time later was adopted for the entire CREP II signup.<br />
The rock inlet / alternative tile<br />
intake program has been a big success. Since<br />
its inception in 1999, over 350 rock inlets have<br />
been installed in Jackson County. These low-cost<br />
projects have been a favorite with many farmers<br />
who have now replaced all of their open tile<br />
intakes with rock inlets.<br />
