Maryland’s 2024 Small Acreage Cover Crop Program

This program is open to large and small farms and urban growers who plant less than 10 acres of cover crop.

The Small Acreage Cover Crop Program is for urban and small-scale producers who do not qualify for traditional cover crop programs. New this year, operations that plant less than ten acres of qualifying cover crops—including cereal grains or cover crop seed mixes—may apply for grants. Financial assistance for this program is capped at $1,500 per grower, per year.
