The LASA cost-share program is designed to be inclusive to help every member meet his/her soil and water conservation goals. To participate, each applicant should indicate which program(s) they would like to enroll in and the number of acres/samples they are enrolling.
LASA’s cost share program is intended to be a learning opportunity for members, so we ask that members be willing to share lessons learned from trying a new practice with the group. The practices offered for cost-share include cover crops, 4R nutrient stewardship, no-till, reduced/limited/strip till, planting green and precision nutrient pesticide application.
Final cost-share payments are dependent on available funds and will be distributed at the end of the year. If you are not yet a LASA member, please fill out the membership form and pay membership dues.
