Agriculture Best Management Practices (BMP) Loan Program

Supporting Water Quality Projects in Kanabec County

The AgBMP Loan Program offers a vital resource for local governments to address water quality concerns in Minnesota’s rural areas, including Kanabec County. Administered locally through Soil and Water Conservation Districts like ours, this program provides low-interest loans for projects aimed at solving water quality issues.

Overview of the AgBMP Loan Program: Borrower starts, gets approvals, completes steps, and receives funding from lender.

Through a revolving loan account assigned to each participating local government, eligible projects can receive funding to address specific water quality problems, whether they involve agricultural activities, rural landowners, or businesses. Loans are issued by participating lenders after project approval by the local government.

If you're a farmer, landowner, or business involved in rural Minnesota, and you’re looking to address water quality concerns, our SWCD is here to help you identify solutions and navigate the loan process.
