Description
The Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) administers this equipment reimbursement program with funding from Washington’s Climate Commitment Act. It helps commercial farming operations invest in equipment that reduces greenhouse gas emissions during on-farm production or increases carbon storage in soil or vegetation. The program aims to improve soil health, agricultural resilience, and soil, air, and water quality while making equipment investments more affordable.
Potential purchases include no-till drills, electric tractors and pumps, compost spreaders, and GPS precision agriculture equipment. Innovative or emerging practices can also qualify when supported by scientific evidence of greenhouse gas reduction potential. WSDA uses program data to better understand equipment-related emissions and address knowledge gaps about agriculture’s contribution to climate mitigation.
