Highly Erodible Land and Wetland Conservation (HELC/WC) Compliance
Provisions
The Food Security Act of 1985, as amended, provides dis-incentives to farmers
and ranchers who produce annually tilled agricultural commodity crops on highly
erodible cropland without adequate erosion protection. In addition, these dis-incentives
apply to farmers and ranchers who produce annually tilled agricultural
commodities or make possible the production of agricultural commodities on land
classified as wetlands.
Objectives
- Reduce soil losses on the Nation's cropland from the effects of wind and
water erosion.
- Protect the Nation's long-term capability to produce food and fiber.
- Reduce sedimentation and improve water quality.
- Preserve and protect the Nation's wetlands.
