Agricultural Management Assistance
Agricultural Management Assistance (AMA) provides cost share assistance to
agricultural producers to voluntarily address issues such as water management,
water quality, and erosion control by incorporating conservation into their
farming operations.
In Massachusetts, cost-share is available to producers for drought
mitigation. Program participants may develop or improve sources of irrigation
water supply, construct new or reorganize irrigation delivery systems on
existing cropland to mitigate the risk of drought. Incentive payments are
available to encourage producers to adopt irrigation water management.
Bay State farmers are encouraged to sign-up for AMA by May 15th. For more
information, contact your local NRCS office or USDA Service Center, listed in
the telephone book under U.S. Department of Agriculture, or on the web at
http://offices.usda.gov. Additional
information about NRCS programs in Massachusetts can be found at
www.ma.nrcs.usda.gov.
AMA, administered by NRCS, is a voluntary conservation program available in
states where participation in the Federal Crop Insurance Program is historically
low. Massachusetts is one of 15 states that will receive a total $14 million in
AMA funding this fiscal year.
