Grant Funding Assistance & Funding Opportunities

Water sustainability goals are challenging farmers to use every drop wisely. To help, technical and funding assistance programs are available.

With the goal of sustainable and resilient water resources, voluntary programs have been developed to improve management strategies and practices that address critical water quality and supply issues. To this end, the Farm Bureau seeks to promote opportunities for technical and financial assistance programs through local partners.
