Cover Crop Cost-Share

Practical Farmers is in its seventh year offering cost-share and technical assistance for those who are seeding fall cover crops.

You can receive $10 per acre on up to 200 acres or 10% of your farmed acres (whichever is larger) and $5 per acre on everything above that. There are no requirements on the species or seeding method used.

New this year – eligibility has expanded! Click here for program requirements.

Sign up for our monthly newsletter The Practical Cover Cropper to receive the latest information on cover crop cost-share, upcoming events throughout Iowa and the Midwest, the latest cover crop research and more!
