Abstract: The establishment, purposes, expectations, background, agency participation, and financing of the Model Implementation Program are described along with the selection process for individual project areas. A description is given for each project area, best management practices needed and installed, farmer and agency participation, financial support, successes, and problems. The MIP has demonstrated that USDA programs can be effectively concentrated in selected areas and USDA agencies and EPA can cooperate among themselves and with State and local agencies in accelerated water quality management program. Problems exist in cost-sharing limitations.
