Here's What We're Doing:
The Climate-Smart Connected Ag Project incentivizes farmers to implement practices like cover crops and grazing management, and it provides technical assistance and data-management support to track outcomes.
(Full list of practices below)
This is a historic opportunity to innovate on your farm or ranch with a safety net. We’ve got you covered with cost sharing and the technical guidance you need to be successful.
There are well-documented agronomic, operational and financial benefits to conservation agriculture, and we’ll help you find the ones that make sense for your unique operation. We want to align producers with incentives and assistance for practices they’re already implementing or considering for their farms or operations.
