SUMMARY:Get paid for conservation agriculture through nutrient trading
DESCRIPTION:Find out how to get paid for conservation agriculture through nutrient trading during a workshop featuring Bartlett Durand of the Central States Water Environment Association 12:30-2pm Wednesday January 15 at the McHenry County Farm Bureau\, 1102 McConnell Road\, Woodstock. \nAttend this lunch workshop to discover how municipal wastewater treatment districts will pay for conservation agriculture practices via nutrient trading credits. \nOur speaker Bartlett Durand utilities with farmers to achieve water quality goals. He’s bringing his program from Wisconsin and Illinois into the Fox River watershed thanks to funding from the Walton Family Foundation. Bartlett has funding to immediately support grants for cover crops and other conservation practices\, plus additional opportunities for future growing seasons.  \nBecause of Clean Water Act requirements for wastewater treatment plants Bartlett is able to partner with landowners for nutrient reduction\, offering more bang-for-the-buck than building wastewater facilities to meet stricter municipal nutrient discharge limits. Instead of expensive treatment plants\, Municipal-Agriculture Water Quality Partnerships benefit everyone in a watershed with improved soil health\, sediment reduction\, carbon sequestration\, wildlife habitat improvement and flood mitigation while improving local water conditions.  \nPlease register for free lunch from DC Cobbs and Bartlett’s presentation by end of day Monday January 13 by contacting Spring Duffey of the McHenry-Lake Soil & Water Conservation District at 815-338-0444 x3 or spring.duffey@il.nacdnet.net.
