The Dodge County Land and Water Conservation Department is administering the state's technical work responsibilities of the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP). The CREP program allows landowners to enroll cropland or pasture land that is immediately adjacent to rivers, streams or farm drainage ditches into 15 year set-aside contracts or permanent easements. Eligible landowners receive state and Federal incentive payments and cost share payments to install practices such as grass filter strips, wooden buffer strips, wetland restorations, or grass waterways. More information may be obtained by contacting the Dodge County Land and Water Conservation Department at 920-386-3660.
