Apply for an AWPP Grant!
Overview
The Benton County Agriculture and Wildlife Protection Program (AWPP) funds a merit-based, cost share, reimbursement grant program for farmers in Benton County.
Agricultural operations of any size in Benton County that wish to prevent conflicts with wildlife may qualify for up to $5,000 in reimbursement grant funds for the purchase of proactive non-lethal wildlife deterrents to protect livestock and crops. Individuals experiencing conflicts with beavers may also qualify for grant funds for the purchase of deterrents to protect trees or prevent flooding.
The AWPP grant program requires an application for non-lethal wildlife deterrent reimbursement funds. Applications are accepted starting October 1 and must be received by November 30th at 11:59 PM.
All grant applications will be evaluated by county officials and a grant review committee. Successful applicants will be notified of award during the first week of January. Successful applicants may then purchase the approved deterrents and submit a reimbursement request form and receipts to the county office. A check for up to the amount awarded in the name of the applicant is then issued. Checks in the name of the applicant are issued after deterrents are installed. A site visit by County staff will occur to confirm installation. Successful applicants are required to keep project records, report conflicts, evaluate their project, and abide by program restrictions.
How Much Grant Funding is Available?
The AWPP includes $40,000 for the cost share reimbursement grant program for the 2021-23 biennium:
- $35,000 for proactive livestock and crop protection; and
- $5,000 for emergency grants
- Each applicant may request up to $5,000 in reimbursement grant funds.
Typically, the majority of funds are awarded within the first year of the biennium. If program participation is high, partial awards may be necessary based on fund availability.
