During a stop in Mankato, Minnesota, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced the availability of $1.5 billion in Regional Conservation Partnership Program funds for this fiscal year. Proposals must be submitted to USDA by July 2. The RCPP is designed to help farmers, ranchers and landowners adopt and expand conservation practices. “We had unprecedented demand for the Regional Conservation Partnership Program last year, showing the robust interest in conservation from farmers and ranchers,” said Vilsack. “Through the increase in funding from President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, we’re able to invest even more this year in this important program.”
