The Agriculture Conservation Assistance Program (ACAP) was created through the Clean Streams Fund and was incorporated in the FY2022-23 General Funds State Budget. The purpose of the $154 million program is to assist farmers in the design and installation of agricultural “best management practices” (BMP’s) that will improve the long-term viability of their farm’s natural resources. Many of these “BMP’s” also help farmers cut costs on inputs and labor, improving our state’s food security by reducing some of the burden on agricultural businesses.

ACAP is administered by the State Conservation Commission (SCC) and delegated to participating Conservation Districts for local implementation of the program. Monroe County Conservation District has received $300,000 in funds to implement the program in our county over the next three years.
