The Jefferson County Conservation District held a Farmer Winter Meeting on February 16, 2023, at the conservation district office to share programs, funding, and assistance available to farmers and landowners. Included on the agenda was the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP). The conservation district also shared CREP resources and materials at the Western PA Grazing Conference and the Jefferson County Fair.
