Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources Executive Director John Jaschke believes the expansion of the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program will help restore waterways throughout the Red River Valley. “This expansion will allow us to offer landowners a voluntary opportunity to restore wetlands, restore channels, to work with those projects through watershed districts or soil and water conservation districts basin-wide.” Jaschke says a lot of the work they’re doing is to help farmers manage their soil health. “If we can make sure it’s done right, with the right people doing it the right way, we can get some real productivity benefits that also provide economic improvements as well.”
