Upstream Heroes

The Conservation Technology Information Center (CTIC) honors America's agricultural producers who efficiently manage their nutrients as part of a comprehensive conservation system. They are truly Upstream Heroes. These farmers enjoy benefits to their bottom line while protecting water quality. In the Mississippi River Basin, CTIC, with support from the US Environmental Protection Agency, facilitates three public-private partnerships working to further nutrient efficiency, therefore reducing the size of the Gulf of Mexico hypoxic zone.
