Agriculture projects continue to pave the way...with wells fargo backing

agriculture projects continue to make the green, green in money terms that is. From wetlands to manure engineering projects this sector show and prove why the agriculture market should not be over looked. Wells fargo, the international funding institiution, recognizes this. So much so, that a $250,000 grant has been given to the ducks unlimited project aimed toward reducing runoff and water quality.

wells fargo gives a $250,000 grant to ducks unlimited

with the grant, ducks unlimited will work with the iowa department of natural resources to restore wetlands. These projects will help reduce nutrient runoff, improve water quality, reduce downstream flooding and provide watergowl and wildlife habitat.

Reduction in downstream flooding and improve water quality

The conservation reserve enhancement program work will take place next year. This program is inclusive and targets funding for multiple projects and in turn will positively impact over 6,000 acres of farmland. In the ducks unlimited project execution plan, the engineering experts within the industry hope that by divertsing the water from tiles into the strategically placed wetands, there can be a reduction in nitrates entering the waterways by 40 percent to 75 percent. This is anticipated throughout the industry, to impove the water quality in that area of iowa.

with ducks unlimited's position in the industry since 1937, as a wildlife and conservation leader, taking a position in leading the way in mitigating the adverse effects of runoff; there is sure to be some industry shift in the importance of these project types.
