Swampbuster provision |
| |
|
| The “Swampbuster” provision of the 1985 Farm Bill,
withholds farm program benefits if a farmer drains, dredges, or
otherwise manipulates a wetland to make production possible.
Wetlands manipulated before 1985 are termed prior converted wetlands
and are exempt from the Swampbuster provision. Personnel from the
NRCS are responsible for administering the Swampbuster provision.
Please contact your local NRCS office or the USACOE if you need help
in determining if you have wetlands on your property or if you have
any questions about wetlands. |
