SWEEP Grant Funding for Producers: Online Informational Workshop

California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) is offering its next round of State Water Efficiency and Enhancement Program (SWEEP) funding. SWEEP provides financial grants to implement irrigation system improvements that reduce greenhouse gases, and save water on California agricultural operations. Eligible system components can include soil moisture monitoring, drip systems, pump retrofits, variable frequency drives, installation of renewable energy, and other items that save energy and reduce water use.

Sonoma RCD and the Sonoma County Farm Bureau are offering a workshop to introduce the program and application process on November 18 virtually from 10 - 11:30 am.  Sonoma RCD will also be available to answer questions about the program, discuss your potential projects, and in some cases assist with quantifications and filling out applications. 

Program and application information can be found on CDFA's website at:  https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/oefi/sweep/
