The Collin County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) is supporting farmers in adopting best management practices (BMPs) to reduce runoff into Lavon Lake, a vital water source for North Texas. These practices, such as cover crops and no-till farming, are designed to lower bacteria, nutrient, and sediment levels in the watershed. Funding enables the SWCD to provide financial incentives and technical assistance, driving voluntary efforts to improve water quality and protect this critical resource.
