Conservation district offers cost-share
The Boyle County Conservation District is offering cost-share assistance for the construction of heavy-use areas. The pads are constructed by using geo-textile fabric and rock to help control muddy conditions during winter feeding.
The cost-share will be 50 percent up to $800. Applicants who are approved will have until June 30, 2005, to complete the practice.
Sign up is at the Conservation District office on the bypass between Aug. 1-15. For more information, call 859-238-7461, ext. 3.
