MONROE — With fall field work in full swing, now is a perfect time to be seeing if there are any land issues. Is there any excess erosion? Is there water running where it shouldn’t be? If so, the Green County Land and Water Conservation Department will be accepting applications for soil conservation and water quality practices until Dec. 31.

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, barnyard runoff control systems, stream bank improvement, cattle and equipment crossings, roof gutters, and diversions. 

To request a viewing by the GCLWCD, and for a complete list of available practices or to apply, contact Todd Jenson at 325-4195 Ext. 119.
