Now accepting applications for the 2025 Cost-share Program!

April 14th, 2025

Manitoba Organics is thrilled to receive funding from the Conservation Trust to improve soil health and biodiversity on Manitoba farms. A portion of the funding received is for a cost-share program, which will help farmers identify ways to enhance biodiversity and soil stewardship on their farms and supports the costs of implementing these plans.

DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2025

(Be sure to apply early—applications are reviewed as they come in. Applications will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis.)

You may be eligible for up to $7,000 in funding if you implemented any of the following practices during this growing season:

• Eco-buffers, pollinator strips, beetle banks and other proven methods to enhance on-farm biodiversity.

• Shelterbelt establishment.

• Fencing and livestock Watering Projects: Integrating livestock into cropping systems through installation of fencing and watering into fields that can be brought in and out of cropping.

• Single Species Cover Crops: This funding is for overwintering single-species cover crops (multi-species is eligible if it’s not a green manure plow-down).

Retroactive funding is available, you do not have to be an organic producer to apply!
