FARMER Ag Truck Replacement Program

Other Grant Programs

Program Overview

The FARMER Ag Truck Replacement Program provides incentive funds for the replacement of heavy-duty diesel ag trucks.  Funds are provided on a first-come, first-served basis and applicants must obtain approval and have a signed, executed contract from the SJVAPCD prior to purchase of new equipment.  Any equipment purchased prior to contract execution is ineligible as this is not a rebate program.

The program is not currently accepting applications

Incentive

Funding will be provided at 65% of the cost of the eligible replacement truck.
