HOW TO BECOME A SPONSOR

Indiana's Conservation Tillage Initiative (ICTI) is a cooperative effort, between The Indiana Conservation Partnership, Agriculture Industry and Indiana farmers. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) received initial funding from an EPA Section 319 grant through Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM). This funding was used to hire a Conservation Tillage Coordinator.

The Sycamore Trails Resource Conservation and Development Council has recently adopted a project which will provide financial assistance to the Indiana Conservation Tillage Initiative. This project will be called the Indiana Conservation Tillage Initiative Fund (ICTI Fund). Sycamore Trails is a not for profit conservation organization (501-C-3) which assists groups and organizations in the conservation of natural resources in West Central Indiana and participates in statewide efforts. The fund will receive oversight from the ICTI steering committee. The steering committee is seeking sponsorships from industry, groups, government, and individuals that have a vested interest in the adoption of No-Till and high residue farming systems.

The ICTI Fund will be used specifically to pay for expenses related to field days, workshops, demonstration plots, information, and establishing no-till farmer networks.
