The Watershed Research, Assessment & Stewardship Program (WRASP), an initiative
founded by MCGA to improve water quality, recently received national recognition at the
White House Conference on Cooperative Conservation in St. Louis. Convened by
the White House Council on Environmental Quality, the WRASP initiative was among
37 conservation projects nationwide highlighted at the conference.
WRASP was created in 1997 to offer government agencies the other side of the
story, a second opinion from the regulated community. The primary goal of WRASP
was to provide farmers with options based on sound, scientific data that would
do two things: improve water quality while increasing producer profitability.
Since inception, the program has continued to demonstrate the national
significance of improving water quality in Missouri watersheds. WRASP now
serves as a shinning example of how working together to protect and restore our
nation’s water can achieve environmental progress that will benefit all
Americans and increase farm profitability for producers.
