“This is a great opportunity for producers to meet with conservation agencies all in one place and learn more about cost-share programs that can benefit their operation and Nebraska’s natural resources,” NARD President Martin Graff says.

NARD is the trade association for Nebraska’s 23 natural resources districts. These NRDs administer tree-planting programs to provide trees and shrubs for local landowners.

Here are a few benefits from visiting the Nebraska Association of Resources Districts Building, located along East Avenue in the southeast quadrant:

Tree giveaway. During the three-day event, Husker Harvest Days attendees receive a free blue spruce tree seedling from the NRD Conservation Tree Program.

Prairie seeds. Free prairie grass seed is part of the Native Prairie and Pollinator Awareness Project. Visitors can pick up a packet.

Water testing. The Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy Water Well Standards Program will be on-site to provide free water testing and screen for nitrates in minutes. Landowners with private wells should bring a cup-size sample of water in a clean container for testing.

Cost share. Information will be offered on conservation assistance, cost-share opportunities and producer programs.
