The Maryland Department of Agriculture has announced that its 2026 Cover Crop Grant Program will be accepting applications beginning June 22, with the sign-up window closing on July 17, 2026.
Farmers interested in participating can register at their local soil conservation districts throughout the state.
The grant program, which has proven popular among the agricultural community, offers financial support to help farmers cover the expenses associated with planting fall cover crops. The conservation-focused initiative is designed to make it more affordable for growers to implement this environmentally beneficial farming practice.
