Pennsylvania Cover Crop & Nutrient Management Support Program

The Nature Conservancy (with Precision Sustainable Agriculture, USDA NRCS, Willard Agri-Service and GROWMARK FS)

Funding: Up to $80 per acre • Cover crop cost-share of up to $80/acre, plus a yield warranty of up to $50/acre reimbursed if participating reduces income. • Also included at no cost to the farmer: PlantMap3D cover crop mapping after spring termination, nutrient management planning services, and technical assistance on seed mixes, seeding rates and timing. Financial assistance is available for sidedress application activities whether the farmer or an agribusiness partner does the work. Funded through a Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) award from USDA NRCS. Willard Agri-Service or GROWMARK FS scan the terminated cover crop with PlantMap3D cameras on a spray rig; partners turn that imagery into variable-rate sidedress nitrogen maps that credit the nitrogen the cover crop supplied.
Who it is for: producer, Pennsylvania farmers whose ground sits inside the project area of the Chesapeake Bay watershed (TNC publishes the boundary as a downloadable map; western PA counties draining to the Ohio are outside it). Farm must be eligible for USDA NRCS Farm Bill programs such as EQIP or CSP, must have an established mixed species cover crop that includes a legume and will be terminated in spring 2027, and must have — or be willing to develop — a current Nutrient Management Plan for the enrolled acres. The program is built around multi species cover crops and the corn crop that follows them.
