(USDA-NRCS-OK-CIG-001); May 21, 2018
Agency
US
Department of Agriculture - Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS),
Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC)
Description
The
purpose of CIG is to stimulate the development and adoption of innovative
conservation approaches and technologies in conjunction with agricultural
production. CIG projects are expected to lead to the transfer of conservation
technologies, management systems, and innovative approaches (such as
market-based systems) to agricultural producers, into NRCS technical manuals
and guides, or to the private sector. CIG generally funds pilot projects, field
demonstrations, and on-farm conservation research. On-farm conservation
research is defined as an investigation conducted to answer a specific applied
conservation question using a statistically valid design while employing
farm-scale equipment on farms, ranches or private forest lands. CIG
recipients must provide a non-Federal funding match or cost-share at least
equal to the amount of Federal funding requested.
