The Minnesota Water Quality Certification Program is in its eighth year and has over 975,000 acres certified. Nearly 1,400 farms have gone through the certification process. The R.D. Offutt Twin Rivers Seed Farm at Staples is the latest addition to that list. Brad Redlin, who manages the program for the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, says this is a unique project. “This is a relationship among many,” said Redlin. “The potatoes are only in there one year in a rotation and they have growers producing other crops. RDO renters are now introduced and involved in the program; it is really impactful.”
