MONROE — With fall field work in full swing, now is a perfect time to be seeing if there are any issues on your land. Do you have any excess erosion? Do you have water running where it shouldn’t be? If so, the Green County Land and Water Conservation Department (LWCD) is currently accepting applications for soil conservation and water quality practices.

Practices approved for the Land and Water Conservation Department are paid on a 70% cost-share per practice basis. The exception to this rule is for nutrient management. This practice is paid on a flat rate of $40 per acre.

A few examples of practices that are offered are: well decommissioning, grassed waterways, animal trails, stream bank improvement, cattle and equipment crossings, rotational grazing, roof gutters, and diversions.

Those that would like someone from the LWCD office come and give suggestions on what practices might work best for you, they can do that. Just give them a call.

For a complete list of available practices or to apply, contact Todd Jenson at 325-4195 Ext. 2682.
