Clean Farm Families

  • Grant Recipient: Ozaukee County
  • Amount: $50,000
  • Year: 2023
  • Watershed: Milwaukee River
  • Focus Area: Nutrient Management

This grant would help subsidize the cost to farmers of changing agricultural practices on their land that provide water quality benefits. These practices include planting cover crops, switching to “no-till” cropping and utilizing low-disturbance manure applicators to help improve and safeguard water quality. Ozaukee County and the Clean Farm Families continue to set the example of what a successful Demonstration Farm network looks like in Wisconsin. Project partners have been successful in securing larger grants from DATCP and USDA to support this work.
