Description
The Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) runs this Climate Commitment Act–funded program to help producers purchase equipment for on-farm production. Its goals are to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or increase soil and vegetative carbon storage, while improving soil health and the resilience of Washington agriculture. WSDA also uses program data to study how equipment choices affect emissions.
Potential purchases include no-till drills, electric tractors and pumps, compost spreaders, and GPS precision agriculture equipment. Equipment for emerging practices may also qualify when scientific evidence supports its emissions-reduction potential. An equipment type’s presence on WSDA’s potentially eligible list does not guarantee funding; each proposal is reviewed.
