About the Agricultural Stewardship Initiative

As part of the Ontario Agricultural Sustainability Initiative, the Agricultural Stewardship Initiative (ASI), provides cost-share funding to support farmers to accelerate the adoption of best management practices (BMPs) supporting soil health, water quality and productivity benefits on agricultural land across Ontario. The Initiative also provides enhanced funding on a regional basis for projects contributing to phosphorus reductions in the Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair watershed areas. Projects will focus on:

• Equipment Modifications to Improve Manure Application
• Equipment Modifications to Reduce Soil Compaction
• Nutrient Application Equipment Modifications
• Nutrient Management & Soil Health Planning
