Gov. Tony Evers and the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) on Wednesday announced that $1 million will be awarded to 49 farmer-led groups through the Producer-Led Watershed Protection Grant (PLWPG) program. Funding will support producer-led conservation solutions by encouraging innovation and farmer participation in efforts to improve Wisconsin’s soil health and water quality.

This year’s grant cycle will support three new groups, while helping veteran groups continue to advance their work. A map of recipients, including one previously awarded group whose grant is still active, can be found on DATCP’s website.
