In a news release from the California Department of Food and Agriculture, the department is now accepting applications for the Alternative Manure Management Program.
CDFA was appropriated $50 million dollars from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, authorized by the Budget Act of 2016, to provide financial assistance for methane emission reductions from dairy and livestock operations.
This is one of two programs designed by CDFA to reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions.
The program will provide $9-16 million dollars in grants to California dairy and livestock operators to implement non-digester manure management practices that reduce their methane emissions.
CDFA will hold two valley workshops and one webinar to provide information on program requirements and the application process.
