The U.S. government went into shutdown procedures at midnight Eastern Time on October 1st. Due to the lack of appropriations funding, U.S. Department of Agriculture staff deemed "non-essential" have been prevented from staffing their offices, which will have an impact on farmers. This includes all Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) staff and Farm Service Agency (FSA) staff.

The Linn County Conservation District will still be available to assist our customers remotely. We are funded through the state provided by one-tenth-of-one-percent Parks, Soils and Water Sales Tax. We are fortunate to have a partnership with NRCS which allows us office space in the USDA Service Center. However, since the shutdown has occurred, Conservation District staff is not allowed in the USDA Service Center while FSA and NRCS are shutdown.

District staff will be available from a remote site during the shutdown. Please contact:

Thanks,

Linn SWCD
