Missouri River Corridor Cover Crop Initiative Funds Available
The Natural Resources Conservation Service has announced that applications are being accepted to support cover crops planted on lands damaged by the 2011 flooding along the Missouri River to assist producers in controlling erosion and building organic matter. Eligible areas are land affected by the Missouri River flooding in Atchison, Doniphan, Leavenworth, and Wyandotte Counties. Producers may apply for the funds through July 27th and funds must be obligated by August 10th, 2012. Kansas received $125,000 for the Environmental Quality Incentives Program Missouri River Corridor Cover Crop Initiative for cover crops and associated practices to address the damaged areas.
