Two Michigan watersheds are
included in the National Water Quality Initiative announced by
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack on May 8. The national initiative will
make conservation funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture
available to farmers in two Michigan watersheds, located in Clinton and
Calhoun counties.
Using funds from the
Environmental Quality Incentives Program, NRCS will provide financial
and technical assistance to producers for implementing conservation
practices such as cover crops, nutrient management, filter strips and
conservation tillage. NRCS has $684,000 in conservation funding
available for farmers in the Pigeon Creek Watershed in Calhoun County
and the Hayworth Creek Watershed in Clinton County. Applications must be
submitted by June 15, 2012 in order to be considered for this
funding opportunity. |
