NRCS TO HOLD TECHNICAL SERVICE PROVIDER LISTENING SESSION

June 29, 2005 (Boise, ID)—The Idaho Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) will hold a listening session for current and future Technical Service Providers (TSPs) on July 13, from 9 a.m. to noon at the Boise State Office.

NRCS contracts with TSPs around the state to assist with engineering and other conservation workload items.

The listening session will include information on how the TSP Program works and where TSPs can find technical conservation information.  The session also will provide time for current TSPs to ask questions and suggest ways for improving the program.

"I'm looking forward to meeting our Technical Service Providers face-to-face," says Bob Bartholomew, assistant state conservationist for programs.  "I know they have questions on how the program works and we need to get those answered.  The large workload for the 2002 Farm Bill has generated has overwhelmed our staff and we need qualified and reliable TSPs to help us get conservation on the ground."

The Boise State Office is located in the Black Eagle Business Center at 9173 W. Barnes Drive.  For more information, contact Bob Bartholomew at 208-378-5703.

USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.
