Get cash to seed grass
With DUC’s Forage Program, you get paid to seed grass. Financial rebates are available for producers looking to convert cultivated land to hay or pasture—in 2025, the average forage participant pay-out was $11,000!
Since 2015, we’ve helped hundreds of Manitoba farmers establish over 39,000 acres of forages.
Our Forage Program is a popular way to solve a lack of quality feed and is flexible, science-backed and field tested. Pro-rated for early buy-out with the option to rotate forage after five years.
DUC’s Forage Program is funded in part through Manitoba’s Conservation Trust.
Congratulations to our 2026 Forage Establishment winners!
