Green Ticket program aims to reward soil stewardship nationwide
Local control advocates in Washington DC promote a Green Ticket plan that would be federally funded but locally supervised, with participation contingent on farm conservation plans. Supporters expect pilot projects within a year, including Wisconsin, and stress continued help for young farmers and annual evaluations to ensure soil-saving outcomes. The program would require local district approval, with emphasis on voluntary, long-term soil erosion protection and a status-like Green Ticket rating for participating farmers.
