Reminder that the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has $1.5 million to assist Missouri farmers produce organic products. Missouri landowners have until May 29th to apply for the funds available through NRCS’ Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). The funds are intended to provide financial assistance to National Organic Program (NOP) certified organic producers as well as producers in the process of transitioning to organic production.
For those producers in their transition to organic production they will need to develop a “Transition Plan. The attached file describes the process and the scope of this financial assistance.
