Quivira's Soil to Supper program pays livestock producers to adopt conservation practices that improve soil and water health. The program is funded through an NRCS Advancing Markets for Producers grant and provides direct incentive payments to producers across the Southwest.
The program is coming back after a hiatus. If you raise livestock, cattle, sheep, goats, chickens, or produce meat, dairy, or eggs, this is worth signing up for now.
Who qualifies: Livestock producers with an FSA number located in the Four Corners region (San Juan and McKinley counties NM, Apache County AZ, Montezuma and La Plata counties CO), fire recovery regions, or other NM, CO, AZ, TX locations. Navajo Nation producers in the Four Corners region are eligible.
What you do: Attend onboarding, complete a conservation and marketing activity, submit reports every six months, and join quarterly calls.
