VT Paid for Performance Presentation for Farms - Addison County
A new application period for VT PFP will be available for farmers summer 2026. Join Otter Creek NRCD, UVM Extension, and VAAFM for a workshop on the program & application process. We'll provide the new updates on what's different, and answer questions about eligibility, applications, record collection, and if it's a good fit for your farm.
Otter Creek NRCD can also provide application assistance. The Vermont Pay For Performance Program (VPFP) is a program that provides performance-based payments to Vermont farmers for reducing phosphorus (P) losses from their agricultural fields. While most current conservation programs pay cost-share for practice implementation, VPFP pays for the outcomes of practices: it recognizes that conservation practices generate value to the public and directly compensates farms for that value.
