Barriers or issues:
Multiple deadlines have spread out applications, though no additional funding comes for later sign ups.
Statewide Initiatives have broken up funding and created confusion among customers as far as what and when to apply.
Statewide Initiatives do not show up on this presentation.
Locally led process seems to be less “local” each year.

The 18 contracts for FY2012 addressed the Local Working Group’s goal of providing a balance of funding to five major land-use/resource concern areas. These are Forestry, Grazing land, Dry Cropland, Cropland-Irrigated Hayland-Pasture, and Cropland-Other. This is also the order of priority assigned by the LWG. Many of the Douglas County applications were funded under the Sage Grouse Initiative.
