Six Chesapeake Bay watershed states urged the U.S. Department of Agriculture to create a regional conservation initiative to expedite Bay cleanup efforts, the farm bureaus of the same six states have done the same.
Maryland and the five other Bay states are embracing a proposal from the Chesapeake Bay Commission to create a Chesapeake Resilient Farms Initiative, which would tap $737 million in federal funding over the next decade to help clean up nutrient and sediment pollution from farms in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
In a letter to U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack dated Sept. 15, the leaders of the farm bureaus in Maryland, Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia said a new funding initiative would help the 100,000 farmers in those states meet stringent federal goals for cleaning up the Bay.
