Calling all Broadwater County Backyard Gardeners, Small Scale Farmers, and Ranchers!

The Townsend Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) just launched a brand new, never-before-seen financial assistance program for any type of small-scale producer. This program is offered to anyone living within the city limits, or outside of town in Broadwater County.
If you grow vegetables in your backyard garden and are in need of a new irrigation system or high-tunnel; if you have a few livestock and need more adequate stock water; or if you have been inundated with weeds and would like some help to rid them, the NRCS is offering financial assistance to anyone who is qualified.
Financial assistance is available for backyard projects such as:
· Garden irrigation systems
· High or Low tunnels
· Stock Water for Horses, Chickens, Goats, Sheep, Alpacas, or Cows
· Weed Spraying
· Garden Cover Cropping
· Planting Trees or Shrubs
· Fencing for 1 Acre or Less
· Small Scale Land Leveling
· Rain Gardens
· Composting
· Raised Beds
· And More!
Anyone who lives in Broadwater County and is currently gardening or operating any sort of a small acreage farm or ranch can apply. If you have a project that you have been waiting to start because of financial strain or technical needs, please contact the NRCS to see if we are able to provide assistance.
We look forward to hearing from you!
