This assistance will be provided through the Organic Initiative of the Environmental Quality Incentives Program.
Applications will be accepted on a continuous basis, but only those received by March 4, 2011, will be considered for the initial selections. Funding selections will be made on or before April 9, 2011, exclusively from those applications received. NRCS provides all services and programs in a nondiscriminatory manner.
“This program will give growers the opportunity to address existing resource concerns such as soil and plant condition while providing the added benefit of expanding the opportunities for new organic producers,” said Lawrence T. Yamamoto, NRCS director for the Pacific Islands Area.
