New Compost Reimbursement Program Available

 

Through this program, the San Benito RCD coordinates with farmers and ranchers to procure, deliver and apply compost and/or mulch in their operations. The San Benito RCD then provides reimbursement to farmers and ranchers for project costs. Funding for reimbursements come from the Cities and Towns of San Mateo County and the County of San Mateo.

Compost use improves soil health, reduces reliance on fertilizers and improves efficacy of fertilizer use, builds soil aggregate stability and structure, and adds water holding capacity thereby reducing water use.
