Collapse ▲On May 5, 2009, USDA announced that $50 million in additional funding nationwide to encourage more organic agriculture production was being made available as part of the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). The 2009 Organic Initiative is a nationwide special initiative to provide financial assistance to National Organic Program (NOP) certified organic producers as well as producers in the process of transitioning to organic production.
Approximately $1 million has been allocated to North Carolina as part of the Initiative.
Eligible growers had until June 5, 2009 to apply for consideration under this Initiative for their organic or transition acreage. If growers have already applied for EQIP on their organic acreage this year they need not apply again.
Since the Organic Initiative is new, the timeline is short, and the announcement has come during a busy part of the growing season, it is anticipated that many interested growers may not have a chance to participate this year. However, as an effort authorized in the recent Farm Bill, it is reasonable to expect that a similar opportunity and funding level will be made available for North Carolina farmers next year even if all of the funds are not used in contracts this year.
If interested in applying next year or to get more information growers should contact their local NRCS office* which is administering the Initiative.
