Bucks To Business

On this episode, Kasey Mock continues his conversation with Josh Deal, and they dive into government programs that benefit land owners, such as county extension agents, Agri Life Extension offices,Texas Parks and Wildlife, and NRCS (Natural Resource Conservation Services). These agencies provide consulting services, research facilities, and assistance in managing wildlife populations or addressing soil erosion issues on properties of any size. Josh also discusses programs available for cost-sharing on specific practices like grass planting or brush management through programs like Environmental Quality Incentive Program (Equip). Additionally, he shares tax benefits for landowners who manage their property for wildlife or pollinators, and how income caps may apply to some cost-share programs based on non-farm income levels. Overall, these government resources offer valuable assistance in achieving land management goals and reducing property taxes while promoting conservation efforts.
