Deliverables: Increase cover crop acreage in New York by implementing a minimum of 2,000 acres per year

Amount: $200,000 per year

End Date: Annual

The USC will utilize multiple strategies to increase implementation, including: the purchase of seed to provide to SWCD’s to support their existing cover cropping programs, incentivize producers to implement cover crops, and contracting with private contractors to cover the costs of cover crop implementation.
