Funding Agricultural Replacement Measures for Emission Reductions

California Air Resources Board (CARB)

What does it fund?

Agricultural harvesting equipment, heavy-duty trucks, agricultural pump engines, tractors, and other equipment used in agricultural operations.

Who is eligible for funds?

Local air districts receive funds based on a formula and award them to farmers and agricultural businesses for individual projects.

How does this program provide benefits to priority populations?

Funding is directed to local air districts with higher concentrations of disadvantaged communities. At least 50 percent of funds go to projects benefiting disadvantaged communities and five percent of funds go to projects benefiting low-income communities. Dedicated staff assist with disadvantaged community and low-income household outreach and technical assistance for small growers in disadvantaged communities and low-income households or communities.
