MILL HALL -- Are you a farmer in need of manure storage?
Are you interested in installing streambank fencing and a low water crossing in your pasture?
Do you need a grazing plan?
Do you have an un-vegetated animal heavy use area that needs improvement?
The Agricultural Conservation Assistance Program (ACAP) has been established to provide financial assistance to help you implement these practices. The program's goal is to keep soils and nutrients on your land for peak operation efficiency, while promoting good land stewardship and conservation. The Clinton County Conservation District is excited to announce we will now be accepting ACAP applications on a rolling basis.
Although ACAP is a state-wide program, the program is carried out by local county conservation districts.
The conservation district receives an annual budget to support local farmers. All interested participants should schedule an on-site, pre-application visit with district staff so they can understand your specific operation needs and explain program criteria.
From there, staff will be able to assist in assembling the best application possible for your specific scenario.
An on-site visit from staff and an official ACAP application are required by the district in order to be considered for funding.
In order to be eligible for funding, your agricultural operation must be in compliance with Pennsylvania state agricultural planning requirements.
To schedule an on-site visit with staff, or to learn more, please contact the Clinton County Conservation District at 570-726-3798, stop in their offices at 45 Cooperation Lane, Mill Hall, or visit www.clintoncountypa.gov/departments/conservation-district/agricultural-programs/financial-assistance to view the county's ACAP policy for administration.
