A bipartisan bill has been introduced in the U.S. House to preserve agricultural conservation efforts in the Great Lakes.
Introduced by Ohio Democrat Tim Ryan and Michigan Republican Tim Walberg, the Great Lakes Agricultural Stewardship Act would establish a Great Lakes basin initiative for agricultural nonpoint source pollution prevention.
The legislation builds off the Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program, H2Ohio, and other voluntary stewardship programs supporting farmers’ efforts to protect water quality.
