Farmer Support: New Manure Management and Composting Programs
This act introduces a support program for farmers aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from manure. Farmers can receive funding for new manure management methods, such as composting or pasture-based grazing. The goal is to improve air and water quality and support sustainable agriculture.
Key points
Grants are available for farmers to implement environmentally friendly manure management methods, such as composting systems or increasing livestock grazing time on pastures.
The program aims to reduce methane emissions and improve environmental quality, especially near low-income communities.
The majority of funds are reserved for beginning, limited-resource, and socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers.
Financial support can cover up to 90% of the costs for implementing new technologies, with a maximum limit of $825,000 over a 5-year period.
