Download the 2022 Cost-Share Application: DUE NOVEMBER 15, 2022
The following cost-share programs are available to CCASA members in 2022:
- 1. Cover crops – [$20/acre, 50-acre max]
- 2. No-till – [$10/acre, 50-acre max]
- 3. Planting green – [$30/acre, 50-acre max]
The cost-share program is designed to be inclusive to help every member meet their soil and water conservation goals. The practices above have been shown to provide a suite of benefits, including but not limited to, reducing soil erosion by wind and water, limiting nutrient losses via leaching, runoff, or other loss pathways, and improving soil health.
How it works:
- Plant cover crops (whatever variety fits into your farming system) in fields harvested for wheat, corn silage, or other crops
- Plant no-till corn, beans, wheat, or other crops
- Implement no-till in fields harvested for corn, beans, or wheat
- Plant no-till primary crop into an actively growing cover crop. Terminate cover crop a few days before or after planting
- Let CCASA know how many total acres are in each practice and how many acres will be cost-shared
