Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program (MAEAP) Overview for FY2017

View Resource

MAEP is a voluntary verification program that helps farmers reduce environmental impacts from their operations by providing technical assistance for the design and implementation of conservation plans. The Overview describes several other indicators of success that speak to water quality outcomes and farmer engagement including participation in training events and tons of sediment and phosphorus loading reduced. A Scorecard reflects progress as of 2016, and a new reporting database is currently under development which will assist with improved tracking of quantitative outcomes going forward.
