ADVANCE FOR USE SATURDAY AUG. 10, 2019 - In this July 25, 2019, Harold Wolle, a corn and soybeans farmer near St. James, standing in his brome grass buffer. About 98 percent of land next to regulated waters is now compliant with the buffer law, according to Tom Gile, resource conservation section manager at Minnesota's Board of Water and Soil Resources. Several measures to compensate farmers for buffer land were proposed at the Legislature this year, including a $50-an-acre tax credit endorsed by Gov. Tim Walz. None of the proposals passed.  (Walker Orenstein/MinnPost via AP)
