Get Paid to Plant Cover Crops with the Missouri CRCL Program

What’s better than planting cover crops for soil health and soil regeneration?
Getting paid to do it!

The Center for Regenerative Agriculture at the University of Missouri has received a $25 million grant from the USDA to lead the Missouri Climate-Resilient Crop and Livestock (CRCL) Project.  Over the course of five years, this project will assist Missouri producers by providing incentive payments that encourage the adoption of a wide range of practices to create more resilient crop and livestock systems.

You can find the full eligibility requirements here: https://cra.missouri.edu/mo-crcl.

We’ve reviewed these programs and we are impressed with and encouraged by how easy they have made the sign up process and how straightforward the information reporting process will be. This appears to be much less hassle than CSP or EQIP contracts have been in the past.

We also really like the fact that any Missouri producer with an FSA number can qualify – even if they have used cover crops in the past. This is a refreshing change from some other programs. You can also qualify for more than one of these programs at the same time, so you can qualify by planting cereal rye or a diverse cover crop blend, but also receive additional incentives for late termination.

Green Cover has all of the seed and technical expertise to help you qualify for these 4 programs

1. Soy-Rye Cover Crops

A $30 per acre incentive payment for soybean producers to fall plant cereal rye prior to soybean planting the following year.

2. Diverse Covers

A $40 per acre incentive payment for row crop producers to fall-plant a diverse cover crop (at least 3 species) that includes an overwintering species.

3. Late Termination

A $15 per acre incentive payment for producers to do a late termination where the cover crop is left alive until the next cash crop is planted (planting green). This program can be enrolled in individually or in combination with other CRCL incentives.

4. Cover Crop Grazing

A $20 per acre incentive payment for producers to graze livestock on cover crops. This program can be enrolled in individually or in combination with other CRCL incentives.
