The bill S.F. No. 909 proposes to allocate money from Minnesota's Clean Water Fund to support a new initiative focused on groundwater protection and soil health improvement in the southeastern region of the state. This initiative would provide grants to soil and water conservation districts in specific counties over two fiscal years (2026 and 2027). The grants aim to help reduce the contamination of groundwater by excess nutrients from crops, prevent the movement of unused nitrogen from the soil, and minimize soil erosion. Additionally, the bill allows these districts to make subgrants for projects such as cover crops, alternative cropping methods, and enhancements in haying, grazing, and pasture management, specifically referencing the practices established in Olmsted County's own soil health initiatives.
