The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) is introducing the Biofertilizer Innovation and Efficiency Pilot Program, an initiative designed to help farmers improve nitrogen management and adopt innovative technologies that protect water quality and enhance soil health.
Applications for the 2026 growing season opened March 2 and will close on May 1. They are being accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Farmers who participate can receive $15 per acre for reducing their commercial nitrogen fertilizer application rate by the lesser of either 15% or 30 pounds per acre when using a qualifying biofertilizer product.
