Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS CTA EQIP MO 18 01
The MISSOURI FY18 CTA-EQIP opportunity is a USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Missouri State Office funding announcement designed to build partnerships that expand conservation outreach and increase public understanding and participation in Farm Bill conservation activities. The core idea is straightforward: NRCS wants capable partner organizations to help deliver workshops, conferences, field days, and trainings that reach Missouri farmers, private landowners, conservation groups, cooperating agencies, and the broader public. Projects can be proposed as single-year or multi-year efforts, and applicants interested in multi-year work are expected to clearly indicate that in their submissions. NRCS also emphasizes that applications will be screened for strict completeness and compliance; proposals that are incomplete or do not follow the notice requirements are removed from consideration, and the Missouri State Conservationist retains the discretion not to fund any or all submissions.
Program activities are centered on four main focus areas, each tied to practical, on-the-ground education and adoption of conservation practices. First, NRCS is looking to support outreach workshops and conferences, including programming geared toward Women in Agriculture. These events are meant to raise awareness of NRCS conservation programs and strengthen working relationships between NRCS and local conservation partners. A key priority within this category is reaching historically underserved audiences, including women producers, veterans, minority producers, limited resource landowners, and other underserved agricultural producers. The announcement highlights public-facing venues such as county fairs, trade shows, conferences, and similar community meetings, with the aim of sharing timely agricultural topics and ensuring information about NRCS programs is broadly and effectively disseminated.
Second, the opportunity invites proposals for soil health workshops and field days that educate producers who are already using soil health strategies or are considering adopting them. This includes teaching about soil health principles and management techniques that can improve soil conditions. NRCS signals that strong projects will show an ability to convene credible expertise, specifically by uniting members of the agricultural science and technology communities with producers and other interested participants, so the learning is both practical and grounded in current knowledge.
Third, NRCS is seeking organic and specialty crop workshops to support producers who are using organic practices or exploring a transition to organic systems, particularly for vegetables, fruits, berries, specialty crops, and other non-traditional agricultural production approaches in Missouri. The announcement points to a range of relevant education topics, such as organic farming techniques, organic labeling, marketing, and the benefits of organic production. It also encourages efforts that connect production to markets, including field-to-market education, support for distribution and aggregation through farmers markets and food hubs, and broader technical assistance, research, technology transfer, and public awareness activities tied to economically and environmentally sustainable organic and specialty crop systems.
Fourth, NRCS is interested in water quality improvement and drainage water management workshops that promote intensive water management and improved water quality through educational events and on-site demonstrations. The goal is to help producers understand and adopt drainage water management practices that can reduce input costs and energy use while also reducing nitrogen loading to surface waters by controlling water release timing. The notice also links these outcomes to broader watershed impacts, noting the relevance of nutrient reduction in the Mississippi River Basin project area. Applicants in this category are expected to demonstrate real capacity to coordinate effective workshops that meet NRCS education and adoption objectives.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity offered as cooperative agreements and/or grants. Eligible applicants include state, county, and local governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled higher education institutions; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in that nonprofit category). The opportunity is associated with CFDA numbers 10.902 and 10.912. The posting was created January 17, 2018, with applications due February 23, 2018 by 4:00 PM CST. The award ceiling is listed as $200,000, and NRCS anticipated making about eight awards, signaling a competitive but targeted investment in partner-led conservation education across Missouri.Apply for USDA NRCS CTA EQIP MO 18 01
