Meeting summary
North Plains’ Agriculture Committee identified a financing obstacle to its prior $5 million dryland-rotation proposal: a reported $2.5 million partner contribution. It favored seeking partners and waiting for the next RCPP round. Roughly $600,000 of Master Irrigator grants remained, but staff anticipated inadequate funding for the 2025 class under the existing allocation model. Pheasants Forever and Wild Turkey Federation were possible partners, not committed participants.
