Fillmore SWCD District Programs

The Fillmore SWCD is here to provide guidance and assistance to various district programs.

  • Soil Health

The continued capacity of soil to function as a vital living ecosystem that sustains plants, animals, and humans.  Soil is not an inert growing medium. Soil is a living and life-giving natural resource.  It consists of billions of bacteria, fungi and other microbes that are the foundation of a symbiotic ecosystem. Learn more.

  • Local Water Management Plan

The Local Water Management Plan was developed to coordinate water resource protection efforts between various local, state and federal agencies. Learn more.

  • Ag Best Management Practices (AgBMP)

The Agriculture Best Management Practices (AgBMP) Loan Program is a water quality program that provides low-interest (3%) loans to farmers, rural landowners, and agriculture supply businesses. Learn more.

  • Well Sealing

Fillmore SWCD can help take the burden off of sealing unused wells by assisting financially. Learn more.

  • Windbreaks

Windbreaks are multiple rows of coniferous trees that are planted to protect a farmstead from wind and snow and provide food and cover for wildlife. Learn more.

  • Buffers

A buffer, also known as a riparian filter strip, is vegetated land adjacent to a stream, river, lake or wetland. Buffers help filter out phosphorus, nitrogen, and sediment, and are an important conservation practice for helping keep water clean. Learn more.
