Grasslands Enhancement Pilot Program (GEPP)

Funding is available at a 60% cost-share rate for grazing infrastructure and vegetation establishment. This includes the installation of water wells, pipelines, water tanks, a solar pump system, rural water and native grass plantings. The objectives of this program are to improve soil health on pastures, provide reliable water resources on leased land, increase plant diversity and improve drought tolerance of the pasture with planned rest and recovery periods.
