Incentive Program to Reduce Fertilizer Use
Nebraska's Nitrogen Reduction Incentive Act program will provide financial incentives to farmers who reduce nitrogen fertilizer use.
The program, launched in 2025, aims to encourage farmers to cut commercial fertilizer application by either 40 pounds per acre or 15% of their baseline rate, whichever is less.
- Farmers growing corn, sugar beets, wheat, and potatoes are eligible to apply.
- Applications are due by November and can be submitted through local Natural Resources Districts (NRD).
The 2026 program is supported by $1 million in funding from the Nebraska Corn Board.
