Growers who test their water supply as part of a pre- and post-food safety program may apply for the department’s Water Analysis Cost Share Program. The program, made possible from a USDA Specialty Crop Block Grant, will assist growers by reimbursing part of the cost associated with testing irrigation and wash water in packing houses. NCDA&CS will reimburse growers up to $1,000 for laboratory analyses to determine the presence of generic E. coli bacteria in irrigation or wash water by a certified laboratory. Grants will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Interested growers should contact Kevin Hardison at Kevin.Hardison@ncagr.gov or 919-707-3123
