Grey County seeks farmers for new test program

Grey County is collaborating with Grey Agricultural Services to provide up to $3,000 to farmers to test new practices that aim to improve soil health and increase carbon capture on farms.

The program, known as Experimental Acres, is seeking six farms to participate.

Applications are due by February 23, 2024 and can fall into one of three categories.

The first category is Living Roots and Green Cover projects which extend the time soil is covered or has living roots in it (up to $1,000 available per farm).

The second category is Innovation for projects that implement new farm practices (up to $2,000 available per farm).

The third category is Integrating Animals on the Farm for projects that incorporate livestock into farm systems (up to $3,000 available per farm).
