Funding applications now open for two new programs under the Sustainable CAP program

Agriculture Minister Derek Johnson says a variety of beneficial management practices for crop, manure and livestock, and water management are eligible for cost-shared funding.

The Sustainable Agriculture Manitoba (SAM) program provides funding to increase the environmental and economic sustainability of an agriculture operation with a focus on climate change adaptation and mitigation, air quality, water quality and quantity, soil health, and biodiversity.

The deadline to apply for SAM  is June 13th.

Applications are also available under the Resilient Agricultural Landscape Program (RALP): Carbon Sequestration and Grassland Resilience stream to support on-farm beneficial management practices and projects.
