TCSI is a groundbreaking initiative to foster conservation and sustainability practices and create market opportunities for all major Texas agricultural commodities.

For row-crop producers, conservation planning begins with the soil beneath every season. TCSI may help eligible Texas producers explore practices such as no-till and cover crops through planning, technical assistance and potential financial support.

The right practice depends on the field, the operation and the producer’s goals. Talk with a regional TCSI ambassador to learn more.

If you have worked with or heard of EQIP, you already have a useful starting point for understanding TCSI. The process may feel familiar, but TCSI focuses on a specific set of eligible practices rather than the same practice list.

Because every farm, ranch and operation is different, a regional TCSI ambassador can help connect the program with your goals.

Texas animal producers, your operation may meet TCSI’s large-operation eligibility criteria even if it does not feel especially large by Texas standards. TCSI is seeking eligible dairy, feedlot, poultry and swine operations. A regional TCSI ambassador can help you understand the size criteria and explore whether your operation may fit the program.

Start the conversation with your regional ambassador.

TCSI is not limited to traditional row-crop operations. Texas vegetable producers are also encouraged to explore available conservation incentives, soil testing, planning and technical support.

Because eligible practices and rates depend on the operation and program requirements, producers should review current information and apply for consideration at tcsi.tamu.edu.

*For eligible participants and approved practices/acres. Incentives are subject to program requirements, final approval and funding availability.*

TCSI may be worth exploring if you:
✔ farm, ranch or manage small forestland in Texas
✔ are interested in adopting or continuing eligible conservation practices
✔ are prepared to submit an application for program review

Checking these boxes does not confirm eligibility, but it is a good reason to learn more.

Visit tcsi.tamu.edu to review current requirements and apply for consideration.

*This checklist is a starting point, not an eligibility determination. Submitting an application does not guarantee selection or funding.*

Crop residue can work in more than one way. It may shade the soil and reduce w**d pressure, then contribute nutrients as it decomposes. That means one management decision can support both w**d management and nutrient cycling.

TCSI supports eligible practices that help producers keep soil covered and functioning.

Explore the options at tcsi.tamu.edu.

The path to long-term profitability often begins below the surface. Healthier soil can support stronger crops, better water use and more efficient management and all of which can strengthen margins over time.

TCSI helps eligible producers invest in that foundation through conservation incentives, planning and technical support.
