What MAEAP Can Do For You:
  • MAEAP is a confidential and voluntary process working with the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development to meet environmental laws.
  • Boost your access to cost-share funds with Natural Resource Conservation Service programs.
  • Receive Restricted Use Pesticide (RUP) Credits for risk assessments (farm visits), verification, and reverification.
  • Save up to 20% on your Basic Liability Premium (Section II) of your Farm Bureau Insurance Farmowners Policy.
  • Avoid civil fines and penalties if your farm is faced with an unintentional, accidental discharge to the water or an “Act of God Weather Event.”
  • Show your neighbors and community that you are protecting natural resources using environmentally sound practices.
  • Have emergency plans ready to deal with the unexpected.
  • Maximize natural fertilizer use and reduce use of fertilizers.
