Beneficial Management Practices Program

The BMP program provides cost-share funding to producers to cover equipment purchases, energy/greenhouse gases projects, irrigation projects, construction projects, riparian projects and water projects, and more.

Upon completion of an environmental farm plan, project funding to increase your agricultural sustainability and contribute to a cleaner, healthier environment may be available through the BMP. 

The Beneficial Management Practices Program is closed for applications but will return in winter 2025/26. Please visit Investment Agriculture Foundation for more information about the funding opportunities of the previous intake or to sign up for their newsletter.
