Producers operating a farm or ranch can hire a young person to implement an environmentally beneficial project in their operation. Agricultural organizations, such as watershed groups and companies providing environmentally beneficial services can access the program to support an environmentally beneficial project their organization is implementing. Research organizations can receive funding to support their agricultural research that benefits the environment.
