A million dollars in state funding has been released to 36 Wisconsin producer-led watershed protection groups. Seven of the producer-led groups are getting funding for the first time.
The grants range from $3,250 up to 40 thousand dollars and will be used to address soil and water issues specific to local watersheds. The money is used for conservation practice incentives, education and outreach, on-farm demonstrations, and water quality testing and monitoring efforts.
