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.
