Sustainable Chesapeake has released the request for proposals (RFP) for the a second round of funding for Farmer-Led Innovations in Cover Cropping. The goal of the Farmer-Led Innovations in Cover Cropping project is to improve water quality, soil health, and crop production goals by expanding the acres of cover crops planted in Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay watershed, especially those planted after soybeans. To achieve this goal, Sustainable Chesapeake is collaborating with Innovation Roundtable farmer participants and other partners (Virginia Soil Health Coalition, Virginia Tech, Virginia Natural Resources Conservation Service, Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, and TWI) to demonstrate and evaluate the performance of innovative cover crop technologies that reduce time, tractor passes, fuel use, or other input costs, and otherwise expand adoption of cover cropping systems.
See the full request for proposals here. Proposals are due April 19th, 2024. If you have any questions contact Kristen Hughes Evans at kristen@sustainablechesapeake.org.
