USDA cost-share funds are now available to farmers in the Twin Falls, Idaho, area to help them improve irrigation and crop nutrient management practices.

Twin Falls County is the state's No. 1 high nitrate priority area.
Cooperators' fields will be enrolled for a three-year period. The initial sign-up period has begun and will remain open until early August.
Applications are available at the Twin Falls USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service office at 1441 Fillmore St. Ste A in Twin Falls. For more information call 208-733-5380.
