LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) Nebraska agriculture producers are eligible to receive assistance to renovate shelterbelts, restore forested riparian buffers, increase irrigation efficiency and improve habitat for grassland species. Funds are being provided through the Cooperative Conservation Partnership Initiative. Four CCPI proposals were approved for Nebraska. Deadline for producers who wish to be considered for funding is Aug. 11. Sign-ups are taking place at local Natural Resources Conservation Service offices. The U.S. Agriculture Department will provide more than $800,000 in financial assistance in fiscal year 2010 through CCPI.
