Nebraska landowners with
farm ground located in the Rainwater Basin wetland complex in south
central Nebraska may be eligible for wetland restoration assistance from
the Wetlands Reserve Enhancement Program (WREP), said Craig Derickson,
state conservationist with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS) in Lincoln, Neb. The program aims to restore and protect
wetlands in an active agricultural landscape by allowing center pivots
to cross WREP wetland easements, ensuring wetlands are compatible with
the agriculture production in this region. The deadline to apply for
this assistance is May 25.
