Conservation Authorities Providing Funding to Farmers

Six Conservation Authorities across Southwestern Ontario are working together to deliver locally tailored Phosphorus Reduction Programs, through funding from the Canada Water Agency. This four-year initiative provides cost-share funding and support for on-farm practices that reduce phosphorus losses, such as cover cropping, reduced tillage, 4R nutrient management, manure management, and other beneficial projects.
