We deliver conservation solutions so agricultural producers can protect natural resources and feed a growing world.
The Agricultural Management Assistance (AMA) program specifically aims to support agricultural producers in reducing financial risk through various means such as diversification, marketing, and the implementation of natural resource conservation practices. Key aspects include providing financial assistance covering up to 75 percent of conservation practice costs, capping annual payments at $50,000 per participant, exemption from certain provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985 while remaining subject to the Adjusted Gross Income provisions, and offering higher cost-share rates for historically underserved producers.
