MFID Provides Conservation Funding

Middle Fork Irrigation District (MFID) has set aside 25% of their Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) sales for local conservation projects.  About $22,000 has been allocated for the next year, which will provide cost-sharing for irrigation system upgrades on about 75 acres of irrigated land in MFID’s service district.  The upgraded systems will be more efficient, which will use less water on-farm and allow MFID to divert less water from local streams for irrigation.
