The California Department of Food and Agriculture is awarding $28 million dollars for agricultural land managers to implement healthy soil practices through the Healthy Soils Incentive Program. Through a Healthy Soils Incentive grant producers can apply for up to $100,000 for adopting 'healthy soils' practices. here are a total of 28 healthy soil practices; including cover crops, compost application, hedgerows, mulching, silvopasture, and many more. The Amador Resource Conservation District is hosting a webinar to guide producers in applying for these funds.  Register for this webinar to learn more about this funding opportunity.
