CWI/ TNC Partnership Grant

Sullivan County SWCD and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) will be partnering again this year to give out cost-share funds to producers who would like to plant cover crops. A maximum of 100 acres is in place and up to $20 an acre. Not everyone will be able to receive cost-share due to limited grant funds. We will be going on a first-come, first-serve basis and will prioritize new applicants before returning.

75% cost share for cover crop seeds and planting on a maximum of 100 acres (maximum of $20/acre). To reach the $20/acre maximum the total receipts must be a minimum of $27/acre. We cannot pay more than 75% cost share. If the cover crop seed receipts equal less than $27/acre, the landowner can submit a bill for up to $18/acre.

Counties included in this grant are Sullivan, Knox, Posey, Daviess, Pike, Gibson, Dubois and Vanderburgh. If you are in one of these counties and would like cost-share, please reach out to your local SWCD for more information and to submit an application.
