Wetlands Reserve Easement in Kansas

High Plains Public Radio

Published April 28, 2015 at 12:00 AM CDT

McPherson County landowner Dale Schmidt bought ground he intended to farm, but often it was too wet to plant, or to harvest. He's pleased he enrolled the land as a perpetual wetland easement. Schmidt and his NRCS District Conservationist Blake McLemore discuss the improvements made to the parcel.
