The Inflation Reduction Act includes increased funding to address climate issues. Minnesota’s $17 billion surplus is also expected to include support for soil health and water storage. Minnesota Soil and Water Conservation Districts Association Executive Director LeAnn Buck says these efforts influence conservation strategies at the local level. “For the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, we’re very cognizant of policies that are done at the federal, state and local level,” said Buck. “It is a nice trifecta looking at the policies coming down the road; I really want to emphasize the voluntary conservation approach and the acknowledgement that a lot of landowners are doing great things.” The MASWCD Annual Meeting begins today in Bloomington and continues through Wednesday.
