State Cost Share Program
The State Cost Share Program is a viable source of funds that provide a financial incentive to landowners that wish to install conservation practices on their land. In addition to the State Cost Share Program, landowners have the opportunity to participate in various other cost-share or financial incentive programs. Individuals seeking financial or technical assistance will be informed of the Federal Environmental Quality Incentive Program and the State Revolving Loan Fund Program (also known as Ag BMP Loan Program). The SWCD and the NRCS (National Resource Conservation Service) provide technical assistance for the survey, design and installation of water quality practice.
State Revolving Loan Program
(Ag BMP Program)
The Rock SWCD works with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture
to provide low interest financing to farmers, rural landowners and
agriculture supply businesses to encourage agricultural best
management practices that prevent or reduce runoff from feedlots,
farm fields and other pollution problems identified by the county in
local water plans. This program provides loans for projects
that reduce existing water quality problems caused by agricultural
activities or failing septic systems and helps landowners comply
with water related laws and rules.
