The Conservation Technology Information Center (CTIC) is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to participate in its Cover Crop Enrollment Partnership Program. Through this program, CTIC aims to collaborate with partners capable of providing targeted, network-based engagement that identifies, qualifies, and connects high-quality farmer prospects for enrollment in the Farmers for Soil Health (FSH) cover crop incentive program during the 2026 signup period across Minnesota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. Participating partners will receive up to $3 per acre for each grower they successfully support through to completed enrollment. CTIC anticipates awarding 2-4 contracts.

CTIC has a target of enrolling 100,000+ acres this summer, which means more than $3.5 million is available for producers in Minnesota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin!
