Kind Announces Grant for University of Wisconsin-Platteville | 2016-12-23 | 2016 | 2016-12 | Democrat | House | WI | Ron Kind | K000188 | kind.house.gov | legacy | U.S. Rep. Ron Kind announced that the University of Wisconsin-Platteville would be receiving a grant from the US Department of Agriculture and National Institute of Food Agriculture. The grant will aid in the establishment of a Hydrologic Observatory and supports long-term agro-ecosystem research, education, and outreach in the Upper Mississippi River Basin. “As Wisconsinites, we are fortunate to have abundant natural resources in our own backyard. We must do our part to ensure they are taken care of for future generations. I am proud of the work UW-Platteville has done to research how to best preserve and understand the Upper Mississippi River Basin, and this grant allows them to expand the work they do,” said Rep. Kind. "The funding provided through the USDA NIFA grant will support the establishment of UW-Platteville's Hydrologic Observatory on the Fever River. This observatory will be one of several established across the country for the purpose of improving our understanding of water and nutrient cycling, and developing national data sets to support large-scale modeling efforts within the USDA Agricultural Research Service's Long Term Agroecosystems Research Program. We are grateful for the support of USDA NIFA and look forward to completing the project with our collaborators within the Agricultural Research Service and UW-Stevens Point," said Dennis Busch of UW-Platteville. Rep. Kind has continually worked to make sure that researchers have access to USDA Capacity Building Grants. He supported funding for the grants in the 2016 budget bill. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
