The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) Woodland Field Office Rangeland Specialist provides technical assistance and planning to prviate ranchers in Yolo County. The NRCS also makes cost-share funds available for practices like range planting.
Yolo RCD and U.C. Cooperative Extension (UCCE) helps farmers with Healthy Soils (HSP) applications for compost on rangeland on a as-requested basis for forage improvement and carbon sequestration. The Yolo County Resource Conservation District (RCD) has also developed the capacity and experience needed to implement prescribed fire and grazing on Natural and Working Lands to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire in the high fire areas of Yolo County.
