State Continues to Fund Brush Control
Glasscock County’s Soil and Water Conservation District is accepting applications for state assistance with brush control. The program’s purpose is to enhance public water supplies through brush control practices.
An announced application deadline of Nov. 1 has been extended, but approved applications submitted after that date will probably not be funded until 2006, according to Jaime Jones.
To be eligible, land must lie within an area that has been designated for cost-share. The program will pay 65 percent of initial brush control costs, with a 5 percent bonus paid to landowners who defer grazing. Pear control is not part of the program.
Interested landowners should contact Jones at 325/481-0335, 622 S. Oaks, Suite H-2, San Angelo.
