Mississippi River Basin Initiative (MRBI)

MRBI

Indiana is one of 12 states that will receive additional Farm Bill dollars for the Mississippi River Basin Healthy Watershed Initiative (MRBI). The Initiative will help producers implement conservation practices that avoid, control, and trap nutrient runoff; improve wildlife habitat; and maintain agricultural productivity. Partner organizations have the opportunity to target where and how funds will be used in selected watersheds by submitting proposals for the Cooperative Conservation Partnership Initiative, the Wetlands Reserve Enhancement Program, and/or for the Conservation Innovation Grants.
