Direct Seed & Cover Crop Committee
The Direct Seed Committee served from 2014 through 2023.
The committee was made up of supervisors from all 3 participating
Soil & Water Conservation Districts: East Cassia, Minidoka, and West Cassia.
In 2023, the committee name was changed to the Tri-District Project Committee to accommodate a wider variety of goals and projects.
​
The purpose of the committee is to decide on ways to best use the funds provided in this project to help educate landowners in the use of no-till farming and cover crop practices. They sponsor events such as the Soil Health Workshop and Cover Crop Tours.
​
Sharon Hardy, Doreen McMurray, and Rachelle Osterhout are the administrative assistants from these districts that manage drill rentals, financial records, and meeting details.
The committee usually held 2-3 Direct Seed and Cover Crop Project Meetings a year but more or less were held as needed. Meeting agendas, and minutes are posted on the Agenda & Minutes page.
