Our NRCS Agricultural HIGH TUNNELS

Now offering farmers GRANTS

NRCS is offering EQIP funding for three special initiatives, including:

* On-Farm Energy Initiative (helps producers conserve energy on their operations);
* Seasonal High Tunnel Initiative (helps producers install high tunnels designed to extend the growing season into the cold months, improving plant and soil quality and reducing nutrient and pesticide transport); and
* Organic Initiative (helps producers to install conservation practices on certified organic operations or those working toward organic certification).
"These special initiatives offer producers a variety of options to conserve natural resources while sustaining production on their lands," said new California State Conservationist Carlos Suarez. "We're urging producers to contact their local service center as soon as possible to be considered for this year's funding. Eligible producers with a conservation plan for their operation receive priority for financial assistance."
