Florida BMP Cost Share Program

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' Office of Agricultural Water Policy administers the BMP Cost Share Program to assist eligible agricultural producers with implementing Best Management Practices (BMPs) for agricultural water management improvements.

Eligible applicants are agricultural producers enrolled in the applicable BMP program. (The program page directs applicants to a separate link for full eligibility details.)

Cost share reimbursement will not exceed the lesser of 90% of the actual project costs, or the maximum reimbursement amount of $150,000 per applicant per contract; applicants cover the remaining costs. Completed applications are evaluated in order of receipt, with FDACS conducting site visits and reviewing eligibility, project type approval, cost-benefit analysis, and potential funding duplication before making funding decisions.

The application period has closed, as the number of applications received exceeded available state funds; the program may reopen if additional funding becomes available. Contact OAWPCostShare@FDACS.gov or 1-800-HELP-FLA.
