River Country RC&D members met to discuss federal and state conservation programs. Congressman Steve Gunderson urged urgency, noting rising federal funding and a farm bill foundation for conservation. He cited 1985 to 1986 funding increases and projected acres and bid levels across the country with sign up set for late February.
The program will target highly erodible land, be voluntary, and cap at 25 percent of qualifying land per county. No other benefits may be received from land placed in reserve. Participants may market any crop grown on the land for profit.
Rep Gunderson cited 104 million acres eligible for the conservation reserve and 2.6 million acres in Wisconsin candidate for high erosion. State Sen. James Harsdorf spoke on two senate bills SB 215 changing school funding via income tax ability to pay and local levy by income value, and SB 251 on dam inspection fees funded by general revenue. A call-in line was provided for supporters.
