BURNHAM — The Mifflin County Conservation District has announced a grant application period for agricultural operations through the Agriculture Conservation Assistance Program.

Eligible projects include, but are not limited to: barnyard improvements, manure storages, mortality composters, grazing management, streambank fencing, stream crossings and livestock walkways.

The program is administered by the State Conservation Commission that delegated the local program implementation to conservation districts.
