USDA Publishes Final Rule On Highly Erodible Land
USDA published its final rule on determining whether land is considered highly erodible or a wetland on Aug. 27. The rule integrated public input and follows a focused effort to improve consistency and use of science in making determinations.
“Highly erodible land and wetland determinations are the gateway to USDA programs, and we strive to provide the highest quality technical assistance to inform decision-making by farmers and ranchers," said Ron Alvarado, State Conservationist for Oregon.
