H2Ohio Agricultural Incentive Program

H2Ohio is Governor Mike DeWine's comprehensive, data-driven water quality plan to reduce harmful algal blooms, improve wastewater infrastructure, and prevent lead contamination. Through its agricultural component, H2Ohio incentivizes farmers to use best practices that are proven to improve water quality (such as cover crops and nutrient management). Numerous Ohio growers and farm organizations partner with H2Ohio, with key agricultural stakeholders and commodity groups helping to educate and support participating farmers. Per-acre incentive payment amounts are not published on this partner page.
