On the Farm
We have funds available to help you:
- Increase efficiencies in resource use and production
- Improve soil health and increase crop yields
- Reduce nutrient and soil loss
- Protect livestock drinking water to ensure productivity and livestock health
What can you do?
When was the last time you tested your soil? Soil testing plays an important role in crop production and nutrient management. We can cover up to 50% of the cost of soil sampling and nutrient management planning to help you maintain optimum conditions for crop growth. We also offer funding for projects that will improve your soil health.
Manage Your Manure, Nutrients and Runoff
Keep your livestock healthy and reduce your veterinarian costs by improving your manure management, diverting clean water and restricting livestock access to watercourses. We can cover between 50 and 75% of the project costs.
Protect Your Crops with Tree Planting
Reduce wind erosion, protect growing crops, manage drifting snow and improve irrigation efficiency by planting a windbreak. Windbreaks can also protect structures or livestock and lessen noise from busy roads. We cover between 50 and 90% of project costs, depending on where your land is located.
