State Cost Share | Kansas Association of Conservation Districts The Kansas Department of Agriculture, Division of Conservation (DOC) works to protect and enhance Kansas’ natural resources through programs designed to assist local conservation district boards and individuals to conserve the state’s renewable resources.
DOC partners with local conservation districts who are tasked with implementation of cost-share programs in their county. The farmer or rancher meets with staff at the conservation district office to determine the resource concern they want to addressed on their land.
A field visit will be scheduled with a technical assistance expert to document field conditions and determine the best practices to include in a conservation plan in order to address the resource concerns. Staff will review available funding options with the farmer or rancher.
If the state cost share program is the best option for addressing the resource concern the landowner will complete a state cost share application for possible funding. Applications must be completed in the county where the land/project is physically located. Applications & contracts must be in the landowner's name.
*Cover crop contracts may be made in the name of the operator of record. Applications must be made and contract approved prior to any work on the project being started. A complete application includes the application form, W9 for all owners, and a project map.
