Recordkeeping Tools

Managing the documents for the H2Ohio program is cumbersome but also the responsibility of the enrolled producers. The district provided a black binder to  producers for agreements, soil tests, maps, checklists, etc.. The Wood SWCD created two additional recordingkeeping tools to help producers manage required documents.  If you need a binder, please stop by the district to pick one up.
