Tile Maintenance Assistance Program
|
Funding is still available! Call today to apply!
Madison County SWCD has decided to implement an assistance program for our farm operators. Through this program, operators can receive funds to aid in tile blow hole repairs, rip-rap replacement, breather repair/installation, and outlet pipe repair. When field tile is broken it allows soil (often carrying fertilizer with it) into the tile system which flows into the creek or river. Sediment is the biggest pollutant creeks and rivers face. This program has been implemented to address this problem in Madison County.
We will provide a maximum of $500 per producer to help cover the costs of repairs. Multiple problems can be addressed in one application, however the district will not fund work on county tile. An application must be approved by the Madison County SWCD Board of Supervisors before work can begin and funds can be provided. For more information see the application and the guidelines provided on this page. If you still have questions feel free to contact the office at (765)644-4249 ext. 3.
