Conservation Funding Available For Organic Farmers

USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is accepting applications for the 2013 EQIP Organic Initiative, and has $50 million to give to organic (and transitioning) farmers who will be implementing conservation practices on their land.

Every state has a different application deadline, with some (California, Illinois, Colorado, Arkansas) as soon as November 16th, 2012. Many states have set their cut-off date as soon as December 3rd . And, some states have multiple deadlines.
