Historic Agreement Increases Conservation, Improves Water Quality in Minnesota
The U.S. Department of Agriculture signed a historic Memorandum of Understanding with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the state of Minnesota. Through this partnership, producers who undertake a substantial level of conservation activities to reduce nutrient run-off and erosion will receive assurance from the state that their farms will meet Minnesota’s water quality standards and goals during the life of the agreement.
