The Delmarva Chicken Association and the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay will fund a $2 million program over three years to promote best management practices for producers on the Delmarva Peninsula.
Funds will be used to improve riparian buffers and apply enhanced conservation, drainage and litter management. The intent is to reduce the release of nitrogen and phosphorous into Chesapeake Bay.
Participating farmers will be eligible for cost-share conservation initiatives including planting of trees, establishing pollinator areas between houses and around retention ponds.
