Marion SWCD Cover Crop Assistance (CCA) Grant
Marion Soil and Water Conservation District · County program
Funding is awarded per acre, up to $10,000 per entity per fiscal year.
Marion SWCD offers funding to help landowners and operators pay for cover crops, with a cap of $10,000 per entity per fiscal year. This is an agricultural soil-health program rather than a homeowner home-hardening program, so it is included only because it is a currently active Marion County program found on the district’s official grants page.
