Who should apply?

Producers who use heavy equipment (e.g., wagons, manure spreading equipment, etc.) where reductions to tire pressure could reduce soil compaction.

To apply you must have completed

• A verified, 4^th Edition Environmental Farm Plan

Eligible activities and expenditures

• Modifications to equipment:
  • Inflation/deflation systems (central tire inflation systems) that reduce field tire pressure to well below the level rated by the tire manufacturers for on road travel
  • New tires that have reduced operational tire pressure ratings as compared to the currently used conventional bias or radial tires of the same size. The new tires must represent a significant improvement (reduced tire pressure)
• Track system
• In-kind contributions

Available cost-share

40 per cent, up to a maximum of $10,000
