Cost-Share Incentives for Landowners
An important part of this project is to provide support to landowners to implement new conservation practices.
The current list includes cover crops, no-till, strip till, conservation tillage, and nitrification inhibitors as well as edge-of-field practices such as bioreactors, saturated buffers and wetlands to help improve water quality. Pairing cover crops with no-till has the largest benefit for soil health and water quality in the long run.
