Good morning. It's been a while since we've been here, but we have been busy. So I just want to give an update of what we have been doing. I included a little packet. This was included in our annual meeting that we had in February. But just some highlights of what the soil and water conservation district have done in 2025 and also what we've been doing so far in 2026. So paid out $157,256.35 in local cost share assistance to Lawrence County agriculture producers. We have provided 113 Lawrence County landowners with technical assistance and field visits. 115 education programs completed at LCIS, Springville Academy, Mitchell and all North Lawrence community schools. 3,000, hang on. 3,553 students reached. 206 soil tests submitted in 2025 and technical assistance given after that. We are continuing to take applications for the remaining $60,000 in 2025 clean water in the end of grants. So included in your packets, these were from our annual meeting. Page one is the adult education programs that we held in 2025. So we're still on 2025. There are some photos of those on page two. The soil and water as well as in our CS. We are in the CISMA and KICK group, which is an invasive group. So I included their update and our CRUSH update for 2025. On page three, we worked with Purdue Extension on a growing together grant. We continued that through 2025 even though we no longer had the grant. So there's the update of all the produce that was donated, sorry, donated to local food pantries in Lawrence County. Page four is just an update of our clean water Indiana grants for 2023, 2024 and 2025. And then on page five, we also, the soil and water has a lower creek, lower salt creek watershed grant, our 319 grant, and that's the update for 2025. And then also on the last page, Lawrence County was recognized in the growing Indiana magazine. So I went ahead and included that article that they wrote about the Lawrence County soil and water benefits that we have from the clean water Indiana grants. So that was all 2025. Since 2026, we have paid out $20,831.55 in local cost share assistance to Lawrence County agriculture producers. Provided 55 Lawrence County landowners with technical assistance and field visits. 61 education programs completed at LCIS, Springville Academy, Mitchell, and Al North Lawrence schools. 2,290 students reached so far this year. 64 soil tests submitted, this was just the spring soil testing that the SWCD cost shares for. We are continuing to take applications for the remaining $60,000 in the 2025 clean water Indiana grant. And we did receive a 2026 clean water Indiana grant for 60,000. All of that goes to Lawrence County agriculture producers. We also submitted an application for approximately 300,000 for another salt water, lower salt water, hang on. Lower salt creek grant, which is a 319 grant, those funds are much larger. So we have submitted another application for that. And then also an $80,000 clean water Indiana grant to continue our educator. We was hoping that getting the one three year grant for our educator that the county could eventually pick up that. After last year's budget cuts, we knew that wasn't going to happen and we want to keep her in the schools. So we're going ahead and applying for another grant to keep her for three more years. I kind of like for you to keep her. Yeah, we want to keep her. So that's just an update I would like to be here more often.
