Disaster Assistance for Farmers
Accelerating Appalachia (ACAP)
Farmer Funding Program
We’ve launched an innovative program to build soil health and expand conservation farming across Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, West Virginia, Virginia, Southern Ohio and Northern Georgia with our USDA grant-funded ACAP Farmer Funding program.
Through our Farmer Fund, we provide $12 million in cash incentives and $6 million in training and marketing services. This will help us support over 600 producers with direct incentives of up to $1000 per acre for adopting conservation farming and forestry practices.
As an ACAP farmer participant, you will receive training in conservation farming, soil testing services, mentorship, peer support, and national, regional and local media promotions.
