Get a grant to start an organic farm in the US….

If you are thinking of starting an organic farm or organic livestock operation, there are government funds available ($20,000 per year and up) to promote conservation of soil, water, and natural environments through responsible farming. The program is called the Natural Resources Conservation Service and is run by the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), and is administered differently in each state (some states provide additional incentives under their own state-funded programs).

The goal is to provide financial assistance for up to 75% of the costs of implementation of conservation practices, and if you are a beginning farmer or fall under certain other widely defined categories you can get up to 90%. The program focuses specifically on water reduction and soil conservation.

You can learn more at the Natural Resources Conservation Service and at the State by State application guide.
