USDA Seeks Groups, Farmers' Participation in $25 Million Grant Program

The USDA is opening the money window for groups that want to partner with farmers in finding conservation efforts that can scale.

On Wednesday, USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) announced that it is seeking proposals through June 21 for On-Farm Conservation Innovation Trials (On-Farm Trials). On-Farm Trials, part of the agency’s Conservation Innovation Grant (CIG) program, feature collaboration between NRCS and partners to implement on-the-ground conservation activities and then evaluate their impact.
