The Tidewater Soil and Water Conservation District is holding a signup for the Virginia Agricultural Best Management Practices Cost Share program for eligible farmers in Gloucester, Mathews and Middlesex counties beginning Monday and running through Aug. 7.

This is the time to sign up for all best management practices, with an emphasis on cover crops, according to a Tidewater SWCD release.
