Department of Agriculture (USDA) - Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)
is announcing the availability of CIG On-Farm Conservation Innovation Trials
(On-Farm Trials) to stimulate the adoption and evaluation of innovative
conservation approaches in partnership with agricultural
producers.
For
2020, On-Farm Trials applications must address one of the four following
priorities. Proposals may address more than one priority, but each proposal must
clearly identify a primary priority for the application to be considered under.
The priorities are:
1)
Irrigation Management Technologies,
2)
Precision Agriculture Technologies and Strategies,
3)
Management Technologies and Strategies, and
4)
Soil Health Demonstration Trials (SHD).
Projects
funded under the SHD priority must meet additional evaluation requirements.
Similar to the broader On-Farm Trials program, SHD
projects must include a robust evaluation of the environmental, financial and
social effects of implementing soil health management systems and practices.
A
25% cost share is required.
