Kentucky Conservation Districts are governmental subdivisions of the state, organized under Kentucky Revised Statute 262. Conservation Districts are responsible for protecting our soil, water and other natural resources. The Kenton County Conservation District was established in 1942 following a referendum of the citizens of the county. Seven locally elected officials, who serve a four-year term without pay, govern the Conservation District. The Conservation District makes technical and financial help available to reduce soil erosion, prevent water pollution, and maintain and improve the quality and productivity of our farmlands, forests, and other natural resources. Assistance is available to everyone in dealing with natural resources issues, including farmers, homeowners, businesses, schools, organizations, agencies, cities and local governments.

Know more about your Food
If you have an interest in local and organic food, grown using ecologically sound principles, consider attending the OEFFA conference this February in Granville, Ohio. OEFFA stands for Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association.
My husband and I attended the OEFFA conference last year and found it very informative. Some of the topics we learned about where: cooking local food, beekeeping, storm water management, traditional methods of farming and their impact on the environment, starting and growing a CSA.
This years conference features Joel Salatin, author of Everything I Want to do is Illegal.

May prosperity be yours,
