The Producer Guide outlines the application and enrollment steps for eligible farmers and ranchers in Arkansas, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Virginia.  Check it out here.

All applicants will apply on the Alliance Dashboard.  The dashboard provides a centralized view of a producer's application status, including an application summary, enrollment status, and a checklist of required enrollment tasks.

For producers, the dashboard is the best resource for participating in the Alliance, including detailed specifications on climate-smart practices, quantifying and reporting greenhouse gas benefits, and other helpful tips to help you succeed in the program.

If you are a producer interested in participating in the Alliance, please create an account to view your state's active programs.  If you need help completing an application or require technical assistance, please reach out to your State Implementer or local district.

 

Happy to help.
