Sustainable Farms & Fields Climate-Smart Livestock One-time funding of $30,000,000 from the Climate Investment Account was appropriated for the 2023-25 biennium to the Washington State Conservation Commission Sustainable Farms and Fields program for organic agricultural waste and greenhouse gas emissions reduction through climate-smart livestock management. View the proviso .
This one-time funding resulted in two new grant opportunities during the 2023-25 biennium. Alternative Manure Management Research and Demonstration Dairy Anaerobic Digesters has moved to the Department of Commerce (see the Report to the Legislature for more information). Alternative Manure Management Funding $2,900,000 in funding was reappropriated in the 2025-2027 biennium to support alternative manure management activities.
This funding is from the Climate Commitment Account. The funding's objective is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with manure handling systems from baseline levels at dairy and livestock farms in Washington through grants to conservation districts and other public entities for project implementation. This funding is open to conservation districts and other public entities only.
Interested producers should contact their CD, WSU Extension Office, or local climate-smart government program.
Projects must occur on livestock operations where manure is stored in anaerobic (liquid)form and may include multiple components of a manure handling system, associated upstream and downstream components needed to accommodate the change to the manure management system, including transporting manure for eventual field application. SFF’s Alternative Manure Management funding has all been allocated and the funding opportunity is closed.
View funded projects (2025-2027). Any future funding rounds will be announced. Applicants for SFF Alternative Manure Management are asked to use the CARB AMMP Tool modified for Washington to estimate greenhouse gas emissions reductions for their projects, where possible.
