Our Partnership Principles

A Resource Guide for Southeast Minnesota Farmers

This guide provides critical information on various funding opportunities, including grants and cost-share programs focused on soil health and water quality initiatives. By leveraging these resources, you can implement best management practices that not only enhance the sustainability of your operations but also boost your farm's productivity. With direct links to essential programs and contacts, this guide empowers you to make informed decisions that benefit both your farm and the environment.

Minnesota Agricultural Water Quality Certification Program (MAWQCP)

The Minnesota Agricultural Water Quality Certification Program is a voluntary opportunity for farmers and agricultural landowners to take the lead in implementing conservation practices that safeguard our water resources. Participants who adopt and maintain approved farm management practices receive certification and regulatory certainty for a ten-year period, affirming their commitment to sustainability.
