MAEAP
MAEAP stands for Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program. It was developed by a coalition of farmers, commodity groups, state and federal agencies, and conservation and environmental groups. MEAEP is a completely voluntary, science-based program appropriate for all farm sizes, focused on minimizing agricultural pollution risks.
