Land occupiers and owners can request assistance, both financial and technical, through the SWCD to implement conservation practices. This program can provide up to a certain percentage of the cost of installing the practice. The most common practices installed in Freeborn County are Grassed Waterways, Water and Sediment Control Basins (WASCOB), Grade Stabilization Structures, and Cover Crops, however assistance isn't limited to these practices.
