These funds are being used to systematically collect data and produce statistically valid estimates of the rate of soil erosion and tracking the adoption of high residue cropping systems in in the 67 counties with greater than 30% land in agricultural row crop production. Designed to establish a long term program in Minnesota to collect data and produce county, watershed, and state wide estimates of soil erosion caused by water and wind along with tracking adoption of conservation measures to address erosion.

The Middle-Snake-Tamarac Rivers Watershed is divided into four planning regions including the Headwaters, Lower Tamarac, Lower Middle, and the Snake River regions. In all four regions, concerns for sediment, stream stability, drainage system instability, groundwater pollution, and excess phosphorus have been identified as either high or medium priority resource concerns in The Comprehensive Watershed Management Plan.
