The Cass County Soil and Water Conservation District reports applications are currently being accepted from producers who are interested in converting their row crop acres back to Pasture or Hay land. The Iowa Financial Incentive Program will pay up to 50% of the eligible or estimated cost, whichever is less, to help install the conversion practice. Proposed acres must have been row cropped in three out the last five-years, in order to be eligible for the signup.

Interested producers must make an application to the Cass County Soil and Water Conservation District by March 10th. Applications will be accepted on a first-come first-served basis.
