Soil Health Financial Assistance Program grants open until Aug 29

Source: MN Department of Agriculture

The application for the Soil Health Financial Assistance Program is open until August 29, 2025. Funding decisions will be announced by January 2026.

The Soil Health Financial Assistance Grant provides cost-share for the purchase and retrofit of soil health equipment. Adopting soil health practices often requires expensive and specific pieces of equipment, creating a need for a cost-share opportunity to offset those costs.

Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Aug. 22 that Canada will remove retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods that are in compliance with the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), starting Sept. 1, 2025. This represents the majority of U.S. imports, although tariffs on steel, aluminum and vehicles will remain in place.
