Cost-Share Opportunities

The Central Platte Natural Resources District (CPNRD) and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) offer a broad range of cost-share opportunities through various programs and initiatives. In addition to programs offered by CPNRD, NRCS provides support through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP), Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP), High Tunnel Initiative, and funding from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

These programs are designed to assist producers across a wide range of sectors, including small-scale urban specialty crops, annual row crops, organic systems, forage production, and livestock operations. Producers can work with NRCS staff to implement conservation practices on specific areas of their operation or throughout their entire farm.
