Applicants may request up to $200,000 for irrigation-related on-farm improvements that will result in water savings and GHG emission reductions. Applications scoring a minimum score of 30 of 50 will be funded on a first come, first-serve basis. CDFA will reserve 25% of the funds for socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers (SDFRs) and projects that benefit priority populations by reducing criteria air pollutants from fossil fuel combustion. Additionally, $2 million will be reserved for applications that utilize the sub-surface drip irrigation to apply dairy manure effluent to field crops.
