AGRICULTURE COST SHARE PROGRAM
Working together to improve water quality...for future generations
WHAT IT IS
The North Carolina Agricultural Cost Share Program is a voluntary cost share based program offering financial and technical assistance for the installation of best management practices to address nonpoint source pollution.
HOW IT WORKS
Landowners and renters of existing agricultural operations that have been operating for more that three (3) years are eligible to participate.
HOW YOU CAN APPLY
Submit an application to the Davie Soil and Water Conservation District office. The application gets ranked based on resource concerns identified in the county.
Applicants can be reimbursed up to 75% of a predetermined average cost for each installed best management practice. Applicants are responsible for 25% of the costs, which may include labor.
Some restrictions may apply depending on the the type of operation or best management practice, or a relevant Soil and Water Conservation Commission policy.
