West Virginians with livestock experiencing hardship due to drought conditions are eligible to receive cost-share funding to help supply water to livestock through their local conservation districts.
The components eligible for cost-share are: Portable water tanks, associated valves and fittings, water pumps, portable pipeline and portable water troughs.
To meet eligibility criteria, a portion of one county within a district must have been designated a "D1" or higher classification, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. If any county has a D1 classification or higher, then any county within that conservation district is eligible for cost-share funding through the Agricultural Enhancement Exigency Program. (A list of conservation districts and contact information is below.)
West Virginia Conservation Agency Executive Director Judith Lyons is urging conservation district supervisors to help as many people as possible who are experiencing drought with water for their livestock.
Each county affected is within a specific conservation district. Residents should contact the specific conservation district where they are experiencing drought. Ask to speak with the conservation district’s administrative specialist.
