Local soil and water districts awarded over $2.3 Million for water quality initiatives "The Indiana State Department of Agriculture and the State Soil Conservation Board awarded $2,313,287 in matching grant funds to 26 projects within soil and water conservation districts (SWCDs) and soil health organizations through the Clean Water Indiana program. “Providing farmers and landowners with tools and funding to keep our Indiana waterways clean and their soil structure healthy is key to keeping Indiana agriculture thriving,” said Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch, Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development. “This funding will allow 48 organizations across 26 projects to improve their local water systems, keep their soil healthy and keep their communities thriving. Last year's increase in Clean Water Indiana funding from the general assembly is already making a lasting impact." The Clean Water Indiana program is administered by the state’s soil conservation board. The program, led by the Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA), provides financial assistance to landowners and conservation groups that are working to reduce runoff from non-point sources of water pollution, whether it’s on agricultural land, urban areas or eroding streambanks." -  Indiana State Department of Agriculture #WhitefieldGlobalHoldings #RexburgHemp #Hemp #News #Articles #CleanWaterIndiana #WaterQuality #SoilHealth #ConservationFunding #IndianaAgriculture #EnvironmentalInitiatives #SustainableFarming #CommunityDevelopment #NonpointSourcePollution #GrantFunding #SWCDs #SoilConservation #RuralDevelopment #HealthyCommunities #FarmersForChange
