Growers will be able to apply for State Water Efficiency and Enhancement Program (SWEEP) Funding from the CDFA again this year. SWEEP is an opportunity for commercial agricultural water users to receive up to $100,000 to improve on-farm water and energy efficiency. The application period is expected to open on October 21 and close on December 16, 2019.

Glenn County RCD will be helping growers apply for SWEEP funding. The workshop will be on Friday, November 1 from 9am to 11 am at the Glenn County Farm Bureau (831 5th Street, Orland, CA). Contact Kandi Manhart ([email protected]) or Ritta Martin ([email protected]). The meeting will have Spanish speaking staff on hand for any questions or additional assistance. Find more details here.
