The Lewis County Soil and Water Conservation District will be having a sign–up February 2-27, 2026, for state cost share funds, for the fiscal year of 2027 (July 1, 2026– June 30, 2027). You may sign-up any time between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, beginning February 2, 2026. Everyone that signs up between February 2 and February 27 will be entered into a drawing.

All landowners interested in receiving state cost share funding for a conservation practice (terraces, ponds, structures, waterways, grazing systems, cover crops, etc.) need to sign-up. Landowners may call the office (573-767-5276 ext. 3) or email brenda.bronestine@swcd.mo.gov.
