AMES, Iowa — Practical Farmers of Iowa is again offering cover crop cost share to farmers who sell corn to Cargill at the Eddyville plant or soybeans to the Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) supply chain. A complete list of locations is on our website for farmers to determine their eligibility.
We are still offering $10/A on up to 160A or 10% of the operation– whichever is larger. NEW this year: farmers who are brand new to cover crops can receive $40/A on a 40A field. Also NEW this year: because cost share is being paid from private sources (Unilever or PepsiCo) farmers can stack these dollars on any public sources (EQIP/CSP/WQI/Crop Ins discount, etc).
