This project was focused on creating an innovation to spur adoption of soil conservation BMPs through a special round of GLRI funding. […] The program’s goals were to enroll soil conservation BMPs on up to 6,600 acres at target locations in the Kalamazoo River Watershed and reduce phosphorous load by 5,000 lbs. into the Great Lakes. […] The Project Team administrated and implemented a “reverse auction” to incentivize farmers to adopt soil conservation BMPs to reduce nutrient losses.
