Summary edit

Description A blue heron eats a small fish in a wetland. In 1985, the Highly Erodible Land Conservation and Wetland Conservation Compliance provisions (Swampbuster) were introduced in the 1985 Farm Bill. These provisions were meant to remove incentives to convert wetlands into agricultural production. Wetlands provide important environmental functions including flood control, sediment control, groundwater recharge, water quality, wildlife habitat, recreation, and aesthetics.
