SWRM grants are state funds distributed annually to county conservation committees and other cooperators in support of statewide education, county conservation staff, and county administered conservation practice cost-share for agricultural producers.
With an approved Land and Water Resource Management Plan, counties are eligible to apply for SWRM. The allocation and awards process is outlined in Section 6 below. County and other cooperators utilize the forms included in the links below to receive reimbursement according to their annual award. Grant funds must be spent in the year awarded, although DATCP may extend cost-share funds an additional year for specific projects.
