All Crawford County ag producers are eligible to apply for payments for conservation completed on their farms.

The H2Ohio program was introduced by Gov. Dewine to help combat the algal bloom problems in Lake Erie.
The H2Ohio Program works closely with local farmers to enhance their conservation management techniques and reduce runoff by providing incentive payments for best management practices completed on their farms.
Eligible practices include cover crops, small grains planting, nutrient management practices, and manure management practices
