Expanding Conservation Title support
• Conservation practices can help agriculture deliver clean water more
cheaply
• Municipal sector is estimated to face between $300 billion to $1
trillion in costs (20 yrs) in new infrastructure for clean water
• If even a small percentage of that can be invested with ag producers,
we can diversity our funding and build a new support for Farm Bill
programs
If habitats and resources on a property are being well
managed, and we can agree on how to measure their
baseline condition and any change in condition, why
not come up with a universal, easy-to-use system to
create both regulatory predictability and
opportunities for compensation.
