Funding is intended to incentivize the adoption of new practices. Will not pay for past projects or continuing current practices. Practices that we can currently fund include:
For areas that are not currently row crops. 10-year commitment unless otherwise noted.
- Conservation cover. This involves planting long-term native plant cover – essentially, a prairie restoration. Pollinator planting falls in this category. Rates are $350 per acre for native species and $500 per acre for pollinator species.
- Forage and biomass planting. $150/ac
- Prescribed grazing. $40/ac/yr, 3-year commitment.
- Cover crops $50-$60/ac/yr
- Residue and tillage management. $20/ac/yr
- Conservation tillage. $10/ac/yr
- Conservation crop rotation. $30/ac/yr
