DARLINGTON - The Lafayette County Land Conservation Department announces the Cost Sharing sign-up for 2009.
The sign-up will be Jan. 12 through Feb. 20. Approval for cost sharing will be based on conservation need and availability of funding.

Contour Strips will be cost shared at $15 per acre, and Well Abandonment (Maximum - $750 cost share, one well per landowner per year). Federal/Municipal Partnering is available (Maximum - $500), includes dry hydrants.
