Reminder: Deadline for Biomass Crop Assistance Sign-Up Quickly Approaching

Producers and landowners interested in participating in the Biomass Crop Assistance Program have a couple of weeks left to sign up. BCAP provides incentives to farmers, ranchers and landowners to produce biomass crops for heat, power, biobased products and biofuels. Producers in participating counties who enter into BCAP contracts are eligible for reimbursements of up to 75 percent of the establishment costs of the perennial energy crop, up to five years of annual rental payments for herbaceous crops and up to 15 years for woody crops. Those interested must visit their county office before the Sept. 16 deadline. Learn more.
