Good Morning,

Wet spring conditions are shaping up across much of the country, and that means some of you may face delayed planting windows—which can put pressure on your revenue targets for the year. That's exactly when programs like ARC-CO can matter most, since they provide coverage when county crop revenue dips below your benchmark. We'll walk you through what's available right now and help you figure out which programs could qualify for your operation. Check it out →

Grants & Funding Opportunities

Renewable Energy Systems and Energy Efficiency Improvements Program
Rural Business-Cooperative Service

Agricultural producers looking to add solar panels, upgrade heating systems, or install wind turbines may qualify. Minimum award sits at $1,500; maximum goes to $500,000. Confirm your operation fits the definition with your local USDA office.

Calendar Year 2022 Disaster Water Grants
Rural Utilities Service

Eligible applicants are communities and entities in designated disaster zones. Since award ceilings and floors both showed zero in the data, award sizes likely vary widely or weren't set at posting time. Check with RUS to confirm who qualifies in your county.

Community Facilities Program Disaster Repair Grants
Rural Housing Service

Public bodies, nonprofits, and Federally-recognized tribes in rural disaster areas may qualify. Your project must sit in a rural area within a county that received a Presidential disaster declaration. Confirm your location and org type with your local RHS office.

Recent USDA Awards

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.

Idaho Department Of Lands
Infrastructure Investment And Jobs Act Community Wildfire Defense Grants
$7.5M

Idaho received $7.5M for wildfire hazard reduction on private lands near Interstate 90 and critical transportation routes. The work focuses on removing dangerous fuel buildup to protect property, lives, and water sources while improving emergency response. If your operation sits near I-90 or state/federal forest boundaries, contact Idaho Department of Lands to see if your land may qualify for fuel-reduction work.
