Small Grains Cost-Share
2024 Small Grains Cost-Share Program Is Open!
Practical Farmers has two forms of cost-share for those implementing extended rotations with small grains. Farmers may choose to take part in one or both cost-share programs:
- Receive $20 per acre for raising a small grain (barley, oats, cereal rye, triticale, wheat) with a cover crop that contains a legume.
- Receive an additional $20 per acre for reducing nitrogen rates on 2024 corn that follows your small grain-legume cover in rotation.
This program is open for non-organic acres in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska or Wisconsin.
To learn more about the two forms of extended rotation cost-share, read through our program eligibility requirements and program steps.
Applications will close July 1, 2024.
You’re welcome to share program information with other farmers by sharing this Small Grains Cost-Share flyer.
