Abstract:
The 1986 General Assembly appropriated three-million-dollars to the North Carolina Soil and Water Conservation Commission to continue and expand a cost-share program for agricultural non-point source pollution control. This will allow the program to be extended into seventeen additional counties located in the coastal area. Farmers who receive cost sharing will be required to perform certain fertilizer and waste management practices.
