Sherburne SWCD has grant money available for small farm owners located within the boundaries shown on the map included here (grant area shaded pink). The grant money covers 50-75% of the costs related to best management practices associated with pasture, manure and/or stormwater management.  

 

Practices that are eligible for cost sharing under this program help to increase forage production (includes pasture seeding and grazing plans), reduce flies and costs associated with manure disposal (manure management planning including use of composting bins), reduce muddiness in paddocks (stormwater diversions and infiltration basis) and improve water quality (vegetated filter strips and other infiltration practices).  Practices are not limited to those mentioned above, call to find out more.
