Cost Share Programs
N.C. Value-Added Cost Share
The North Carolina Value-Added Cost Share Program (NCVACS) complements the USDA Value-Added Producer Grant (VAPG) by offsetting the costs to N.C. value-added producers for professional services related to the VAPG application process and equipment purchases.
Water Analysis Cost Share Program
The N.C. Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services will reimburse growers up to $200 for laboratory analysis to determine the quantitative presence of generic E. coli bacteria in irrigation or wash water by a certified laboratory. Funding for this program is from a USDA specialty crop block grant and is available on a first come, first served basis.
