Application deadline for this round is April 7th.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Ohio Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is accepting applications from landowners interested in the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) to build on existing conservation efforts to increase operational efficiencies and environmental benefits as well as reduce overall input costs.
This year, Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) funding is providing additional financial opportunities for select conservation practices and enhancements to increase direct climate mitigation benefits. There are several grazing and pasture management activities included among the Climate Change Mitigation Practice Categories eligible for funding.
The application deadline for receiving fiscal year 2023 funding for both CSP-Classic and CSP-IRA is April 7, 2023.
