Corn and soybean farmers in 20 states who adopt cover crop practices are now eligible for financial and technical assistance.
Cost-share programs are available through Farmers For Soil Health and USDA’s Partnership for Climate-Smart Commodities and US Fish and Wildlife Foundation, which provide $50 per acre over three years of new cover crops planted.
Farmers for Soil Heath Executive Director Ben West tells Brownfield the funds will help growers offset some risk.
