FARMER

The APCD Board has also authorized grant funding for the Funding Agricultural Replacement Measures for Emission Reductions (FARMER) Program, which provides for the expenditure of funds from Assembly Bill (AB) 134 and AB 109.  These bills provide funding for agricultural harvesting equipment, replacement or electrification of irrigation engines, tractors, and other equipment used in agricultural operations.  These projects also must be consistent with the Carl Moyer Program guidelines.

Funding Source Acknowledgement

The Community Air Protection Plan is part of California Climate Investments, a statewide program that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing GHG emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health and the environment– particularly in disadvantaged communities. The Cap-and-Trade program also creates a financial incentive for industries to invest in clean technologies and develop innovative ways to reduce pollution. California Climate Investments projects include affordable housing, renewable energy, public transportation, zero-emission vehicles, environmental restoration, more sustainable agriculture, recycling, and much more. At least 35 percent of these investments are located within and benefiting residents of disadvantaged communities, low-income communities, and low-income households across California.
