There are a number of reasons to install a Smart Wetland as part of your nutrient loss reduction strategy:
Removal of nitrogen and phosphorus from tile drainage
Low annual maintenance requirement, if correctly designed and installed
Long life (30+ years) practice
No cropping system changes
Compatible with most landscapes and farming operations
Good alternative use of negative-revenue land
USDA Farm Bill conservation program financial assistance
Secondary benefits of natural wildlife and pollinator habitat
