AgBMP Low Interest Loan

The AgBMP Loan Program is a water quality program that provides low  interest loans to farmers, rural landowners, and agriculture supply  businesses. The purpose is to encourage agricultural Best Management  Practices that prevent or reduce runoff from feedlots, farm fields and  other pollution problems identified by the county in local water plans.  The East Polk SWCD is part of a Joint Powers Board with 6 other  Northwest MN Soil and Water Conservation Districts that offer low  interest loans.
