The Farmers for Soil Health initiative has been awarded a $95 million grant from the USDA to help farmers increase the use of climate-smart practices.
Program coordinator John Johnson tells Brownfield the grant will help advance cover crops and conservation tillage in 20 states. “We want to double the number of acres using cover crops in the US on cropland by 2030,” he said. “The baseline back in 2017 was 15 million acres.
