Q: Utah is conducting an optimization review. The delivery system for conservation programs is analyzing how staff is managed and the accountability of employees and funding. I would like to know how these programs work in your state. I am especially interested in the contractual relationship between the state entity that manages your state commissions and the state associations of conservation districts, i.e. staff oversight and accountability etc.     Last Response: 2011-12-29 11:35:59

Q: The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development received an inquiry from an Apiculture Specialist in Hawaii about getting "green belt status on land with beekeeping." My interpretation of what is referred to as green belt is that it is associated with Farmland and Open Space Preservation program and property tax status. Does anyone have a program such as this in their state? Or, can you give me particular information that might be useful in responding to the inquiry. Thanks. Steve

Q: The Idaho State Department of Agriculture is proposing a new rule to address poultry operations and associated animal waste management practices related to the Poultry Environmental Act. Large-scale poultry manure issues are relatively new to Idaho (we don't currently have any but one is ready to be constructed) and the Idaho Soil & Water Conservation Commission intends to comment on the proposed rule. We are seeking input from NASCA members to help us identify issues that we should be aware of or should identify as being addressed in the rule. If you would like to take a look at the draft rule, I can email you a copy. Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide!

Q: In West Virginia the state code states that supervisors are entitled to reasonable and necessary expenses and per diem (presently expenses are set at $30.00 per day for meals, 50.5 cents per mile plus $60.00 per day ) when engaged in the performance of his or her duties. The expense and per diem rate shall be established by the state committee. What is paid or reimbursed to conservation supervisors/commissioners in other states? If so does the Agency/Commission provide the payment or is it paid through the local conservatio district? Thank you. Carolyn Hefner (chefner@wvca.us) Last Response: 2011-09-06 13:12:43
