Natural Resources Conservation Service in Kentucky is accepting applications for the Grassland Reserve Program (GRP). Although GRP applications are continually accepted, the application ranking cutoff date for 2011 is March 31.  Applications received after March 31, 2011 will be deferred until the next ranking cycle.
The Grassland Reserve Program is a voluntary program offering landowners and operators the opportunity to protect grazing uses and related conservation values by conserving and restoring grassland resources.

On a day like today, when it’s cold and snowy outside, soup is the thing I want.  
I was talking to a friend on the phone this morning, and she said she was making vegetable soup, so I got that in my head and immediately started chopping onions. (I always say that every recipe I make starts with “sauté an onion.”)  
 I didn’t use a recipe, but it came together pretty easily and before I knew it, I had added eight vegetables plus some chicken I had left over from dinner the previous night.
