The AgBMP Loan Program provides needed funding for local implementation of clean water practices at an extremely low cost, is unique in its structure, and is not duplicated by any other source of funding. The AgBMP loan program provides 3% loans through local lenders to farmers, rural landowners, and agriculture supply businesses. Funds are used for proven practices that prevent non-point source water pollution or solve existing water quality problems.
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) is working with partners at the Rosholt Farm in Westport, Minnesota to provide a better understanding of nitrogen fertilizer management and the associated water quality impacts on irrigated, sandy soils.
