Indiana Management of Agriculture Enhancements (IMAGE) Cost-Share Program

The Indiana Management of Agriculture Enhancements (IMAGE) Cost-Share Program is a conservation funding initiative administered by the Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) to help producers implement practical conservation improvements on their operations.

IMAGE provides financial assistance and technical support for projects that improve livestock management, strengthen farm infrastructure, improve soil health, and protect Indiana's natural resources.

Through partnerships with Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs), the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) and other conservation partners, IMAGE helps

producers overcome financial barriers to implementing conservation practices that benefit both agricultural operations and natural resources.

The IMAGE program is made possible through Clean Water Indiana Funding.

Approved participants may receive reimbursement for up to seventy-five percent (75%) of eligible project costs.

Funding is awarded through a competitive ranking process and is subject to available program funds.

This is a cost-share reimbursement program. The applicant must pay project costs upfront.

Reimbursement will occur after:

• ISDA verifies practice installation.
• Applicant submits paid receipts and required documentation.
• ISDA confirms project meets NRCS and locally approved standards.
