About this program
The California Department of Food and Agriculture’s Office of Agricultural Resilience and Sustainability offers approximately $34 million through the 2026 Dairy Plus Program for California dairy farms implementing advanced manure management practices that reduce methane emissions and nitrogen and salt surplus. Awards may provide up to $750 per cow, capped at $1.25 million per project, with an initial 12-month term and reimbursement-based payments; matching funds are not required.
Eligible applicants include California farmers, ranchers, and Native American Tribes operating commercial California dairy facilities and registered with the USDA Farm Service Agency. Projects must supplement previous or in-progress AMMP or DDRDP projects, or implement equivalent approved practices, and must meet applicable state and federal requirements; applications are due September 14, 2026.
