Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance is pleased to announce our new Soil Health Equipment Purchase Program that will assist farmers across the Fox-Wolf Basin to invest in equipment that supports soil health and improved water quality.
Local farmers continue to lead the way in adopting practices that protect water quality. The equipment needed to successfully implement and expand these practices, however, can represent a significant investment.
To help address that challenge, Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance is offering incentives of up to $30,000 for equipment that improves soil health and reduces sediment and nutrient runoff supports water quality. Eligible equipment may include anything from no-till drills and interseeders, to drones used for cover crop seeding, and much more. Our goal with the program is to meet farmers where they are at on their soil health journey, helping them access the equipment they need to be successful with their soil health goals.
A total of $250,000 is available for the 2026 season. Priority consideration will be given to applications received by August 15, 2026. Applications submitted after that date will be considered as funding remains available. "This program partners with producers on equipment acquisition that can make it easier to implement and expand practices that improve soil health, keep nutrients in the field, and strengthen the long-term sustainability of their operations." said Katie Woodrow – Watershed Recovery Director with Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance.
By helping farmers invest in the right tools for the right job, Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance is supporting voluntary, producer-led conservation efforts that support healthier soils and more resilient fields for farmers, leading to reduced nutrient and sediment runoff and improve water quality across the Basin
