H2Ohio Program and Enrollment Resources
A new cost-share opportunity is currently available for producers currently enrolled in the H2Ohio Program. Producers can receive an additional $10 per acre for establishing an overwinter cover crop into standing corn or soybeans. The deadline to sign-up is August 1st, 2022, with inter-seeding to be completed by September 30th, 2022. More information can be found here.
The following are various resources related to the H2Ohio program and its requirements:
The H2Ohio Guidance Sheets are the exact specifications required for each aspect of the program. For all farmers enrolling in the program a valid Voluntary Nutrient Management Plan is required for every enrolled field at the time of application. Upon completion of practices the farmer and SWCD will complete a Practice Verification Form.
All Nutrient Management Plans should include a Farm Summary Page, or equivalent documentation, and should meet the Tri-State Fertility Recommendations.
Another requirement of the H2Ohio program is the creation of a Farmer Profile and Certification through the Ohio Agriculture Conservation Initiative.
