This legislative bill in Minnesota is proposing to allocate funds from the clean water fund to support a new initiative aimed at protecting regional groundwater and improving soil health in southeastern Minnesota. Specifically, in fiscal years 2026 and 2027, grants will be given to soil and water conservation districts in several counties to help reduce harmful nutrient leaching into groundwater, prevent nitrogen from affecting the soil in non-beneficial ways, and minimize erosion. Additionally, these districts can use the grants to support related projects like cover crop programs, alternative crop solutions, and enhancements to haying, grazing, and pasture management.
