A current Clean Water Indiana grant, “Smart Soils Extended”, brings technology to the Eel and Little River watersheds (along with the Auglaize). Each year of the 3-year grant, we have funds for a waterway tour for farmers.

This year, we are taking a bus tour that starts at the Continental Divide on the Graham-McCullough Ditch and going down to the Forks of the Wabash (just downstream of the confluence with the Little River).  The tour will demonstrate diverse conservation practices that will improve soil health and water quality while also protecting ROI. Five critical areas from a recent EPA/IDEM 319 grant will be featured to demonstrate the impact of practices.
