What
Farmers for Soil Health is a program created by farmers for farmers and is committed to enhancing soil health practices, like planting cover crops, to improve the environment and profitability of farmers. If you planted cover crops in the Fall of 2023 you may be eligible for financial compensation of up to $50 per acre over a three-year period.
How
Each state has dedicated technical advisors to offer guidance and answer any questions about the program or transitioning fields to successful cover crop adoption. Contact your Ohio advisor for details on the program and to see if your cover crop planted fields qualify for incentive payments.
