Lake Decatur
Water Quality Initiative

Hemp Pilot Project

Our mission is to utilize hemp to significantly reduce sediment by up to 50% and nitrates by 20% each year, contributing to the health of the local water supply reservoir in Decatur, IL and to the the Mississippi River Basin Critical Conservation Area.

​

The IHGA is proud to be one of over 50 partners on this first of its kind project.
