MONROE — The Green County Land and Water Conservation Department is accepting applications for soil conservation and water quality practices.

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

A few examples of practices that are offered through both programs are: well decommissioning, grassed waterways, manure storage, barnyard runoff control systems, stream bank improvement, cattle and equipment crossings, roof gutters and diversions. 

For a complete list of available practices or to apply, stop by the USDA Service Center at 1627 4th Avenue West, Monroe. With questions, contact Todd Jenson at 325-4195 ext. 119.
