2011 New Hampshire Specialty Crop Program
We are pleased to announce a new funding round of The New Hampshire Specialty Crop Grant Program. We are offering this program with federal funding from the USDA Specialty Crop Block Grant program (SCBG). To meet the federal SCBG program criteria, we must select projects that we would like to fund BEFORE we submit our state application for funding. A total of approximately $234,000 is available for project grants under the 2011 NH Specialty Crop Grant Program. All projects must enhance New Hampshire specialty crops as defined within. All reasonable funding requests that meet program criteria will be considered. This is a competitive process and all eligible applications will be reviewed by a selection committee. Successful projects will be put forward to USDA as part of the New Hampshire state application. Please contact Gail McWilliam Jellie at 271-3788 or gmcwilliam@agr.state.nh.us with any questions regarding the program. Click here for application information.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program
Since 1998, the New Hampshire Department of Agriculture, Markets & Food has been awarding grants to projects promoting integrated pest management practices. The purpose of the Program is to encourage the principles and practices of integrated pest management in all areas pesticides are used. The goals of the Department are to contribute funding to further the education of the public, including those applying pesticides, minimize the use of pesticides, and improve the health, environment, and economics of New Hampshire citizens. The Program grant application process is open to all residents of the state, including citizens from the private sector, extension offices, trade organizations, corporate organizations, and government agencies. The Division of Pesticide Control manages the IPM Program. Please contact the Division for further information, 603-271-3118.

Agricultural Nutrient Management (ANM) Grant Program
The Agricultural Nutrient Management (ANM) Grant Program seeks to provide financial, educational and technical assistance for livestock and agricultural land operations and related organizations with implementing Best Management Practices and such other measures necessary to prevent or mitigate water pollution. Applicants for ANM grants may apply for cost assistance of up to $2,500 per year. There is no match required, however, in-kind services such as labor provided by the applicant will enhance the application. The majority of the funding will be used for on-farm projects that address the program objectives. Funding may also be utilized by organizations for educational projects.
