Prairie Watershed Climate Program 
PWCP provides financial support, through OFCAF, to farmers in Manitoba to accelerate their adoption and implementation of on-farm BMPs to reduce GHG emissions, support production efficiency, sustainability and resiliency on their farm operations. To assist farmers with their adoption of new BMPs, the program offers farmers resources to support BMP implementation and provide BMP design recommendations.

The BMP's eligible under the PWCP focus on three categories:
  1. Cover Cropping
  2. Nitrogen Management
  3. Rotational Grazing
