CIGs are designed to support collaboration between NRCS and partners to implement on-the-ground conservation activities and evaluate their impacts. Participating farmers and ranchers receive payments to offset the risk and investments for testing out new conservation approaches.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Priorities: 2021 On-Farm Trials &#8211; <\/strong>Each year, NRCS identifies priority topics for On-Farm Trials. For 2021, applicants must address one of the four following priorities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Climate-smart agricultural solutions<\/em>: projects that focus on approaches to reducing emissions of greenhouse gases or enhancing soil carbon and perennial biomass sequestration. All selected applications must use quantification methodologies that align with the USDA report titled\u00a0<em>Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Fluxes in Agriculture and Forestry: Methods for Entity-Scale Inventory<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><em>Soil health demonstration trial<\/em>: projects that are demonstrations of long-term, successful Soil Health Management Systems and\/or production systems transitioning to a Soil Health Management System. Applications must indicate which of the four soil health management principles their project addresses, as well as identify at least one of the national Soil Health Demonstration subpriorities (see more details below).<\/li>\n<li><em>Irrigation water management<\/em>: projects that enhance a producer\u2019s ability to monitor irrigation needs effectively, manage irrigation practices efficiently, and increase water savings.<\/li>\n<li><em>Management technologies and strategies<\/em>: projects that help producers effectively manage production systems while achieving conservation benefits through more efficient application and management. This category includes many ideas derived from both the On-Farm Trials statute and other NRCS ideas. See the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.grants.gov\/web\/grants\/view-opportunity.html?oppId=332993\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">funding announcement<\/a> for examples.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Soil Health Demonstration Trial &#8211; <\/strong>\u00a0the Soil Health Demonstration Trial (SHD) component, which focuses exclusively on conservation practices and systems that enhance soil health and increase soil carbon. NRCS anticipates that up to $10 million of On-Farm Trials funding in 2021 will be awarded to entities applying for the SHD component. Participants in the SHD component must use consistent soil health and soil carbon assessment protocols developed by NRCS. Projects are evaluated in terms of soil health, as well as by the economic outcomes generated as a result of the conservation practices. This option supports farmers in their efforts to build soil health, while simultaneously measuring, evaluating, and reporting on the outcomes associated with these projects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The deadline to apply for On-Farm Conservation Innovation Trials is June 21, 2021 <\/strong>and apply online through\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.grants.gov\/web\/grants\/view-opportunity.html?oppId=325306\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">grants.gov<\/a>.
