Conservation program pays farmers
The Skaneateles Lake watershed, critical to the quality of water for the City of Syracuse, will benefit from the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP), a partnership between the Farm Service Agency (U.S. Department of Agriculture) and the City of Syracuse. CREP pays farmers to plant buffer strips along the watershed's cropland. The program is funded with $900,000 from the federal government and $250,000 from the City.
CREP is a voluntary program. Farmers enroll in 10- to 15-yr contracts and are paid to remove from production up to 1000 acres of cropland or marginal pastureland surrounding Skaneateles Lake and its tributaries. On that reserved land, the farmer plants grasses, trees, and shrubs to reduce soil erosion and runoff. A properly installed buffer should reduce nutrients, pesticides, pathogens, and sediment from entering the lake.
