Good Morning,

Urea prices are climbing, and that's pushing some operations toward crop rotation strategies—including a potential shift to soybeans. If you're thinking about changes to your rotation or energy costs on equipment and irrigation, the Renewable Energy Systems and Energy Efficiency Improvements Program may help offset those expenses. We've also pulled together a breakdown of grants for nonprofits and school farm operations—farm-to-school programs and farmer's market promotion grants—in case you're looking to diversify income streams or mentor the next generation.

Recent USDA Awards

Texas A&M Forest Service
Infrastructure Investment And Jobs Act Community Wildfire Defense Grants
$15.7M

Texas A&M Forest Service received $15.7M for community wildfire protection plans and implementation projects in at-risk Texas areas. This may fund either developing new wildfire protection plans or carrying out projects in existing plans less than ten years old. If you farm or ranch in a high-wildfire-hazard Texas county, contact your county extension office to learn if community planning efforts are underway.

Sweet Home Fire & Ambulance District
Infrastructure Investment And Jobs Act Community Wildfire Defense Grants
$8.7M

Sweet Home Fire & Ambulance District in Oregon received $8.7M to reduce fire fuels, boost wildfire preparedness, and lower risk in communities at the wildland-urban edge. Relevant if you farm near forested areas or in the district's zone—fuel reduction work may affect access or create opportunities for clearing. Check with your local fire district or county Extension agent about any preparedness programs or land-management resources now available in your area.

Texas Boll Weevil Eradication Foundation, Inc.
Plant And Animal Disease, Pest Control, And Animal Care
$8.0M

Texas Boll Weevil Eradication Foundation received $8.0M to eradicate boll weevil from the Lower Rio Grande Valley, the last U.S. area with active infestations, using aerial applications of malathion in quarantine zones. Cotton growers in the LRGV may see aerial spray operations on commercial cotton; this is a cooperative effort between USDA and the foundation. Contact your local USDA office if you grow cotton in the Valley and have questions about spray schedules.
