We deliver conservation solutions so agricultural producers can protect natural resources and feed a growing world.
This grant program by the NRCS seeks to fund agreements aimed at leveraging NRCS resources to tackle local natural resource issues in Iowa. It encourages collaboration and aims to develop conservation leadership at state and community levels. The focus is on projects that provide direct, on-the-ground support for Iowa's NRCS Field Offices, promoting conservation efforts within the state. Specifically, the grant supports collaborative projects but explicitly excludes research proposals. The anticipated funding for the fiscal year 2024 could be up to $5,000,000, subject to budgetary constraints.
