BANGOR, Maine — The USDA’s State Technical Committee meeting for Maine will be held April 8, 2020, at the USDA State Office conference room, 967 Illinois Ave., Bangor.
The meeting is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and is open to the public.
The State Technical Committee (STTC) assists the USDA in matters relating to the implementation and technical aspects of conservation programs under the Farm Bill. The committee is traditionally composed of agricultural producers and other professionals that represent a variety of disciplines in soil, water, wetland, and wildlife sciences. The STTC includes representatives from several agencies including the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the Farm Service Agency (FSA), and the Maine Forest Service.
The State Technical Committee meets regularly to provide information, analysis and recommendations to USDA officials charged with implementing the conservation provisions under the Farm Bill. The Committee’s role is advisory in nature, and has no implementation of enforcement authority.
