Sen. Mike Waugh (R-York), 2005-06 Chair of the Senate Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee, talks about farm stewardship and the proposed legislation creating the Resource Enhancement and Protection Act (REAP) that would give farmers tax credits for the installation of practices that reduce nutrients and sediments going into our rivers and streams.

The bipartisan Resource Enhancement and Protection Act (REAP) was introduced as Senate Bill 1286 by Sen. Wenger (R-Lancaster), Sen. Waugh (R-York), Sen. O'Pake (D-Berks) and others and as House Bill 2878 by Rep. Stern (R-Blair), Rep. Hershey (R-Chester) and Rep. Daley (D-Washington).
