Agricultural Stewardship Tax Credit

This tax credit is meant to encourage the practice of qualified stewardship practices on a farm or ranch, including any practice that:

  • increases soil health,
  • improves water efficiency, or
  • creates more diverse and beneficial ecosystems while maintaining the productivity of the farm or ranch.

This tax credit was created through HB24-1249. CDA and Department of Revenue (DOR) will manage the tax credit program. 

The Ag Stewardship Tax Credit (ASTC):

  • Is based on practices implemented on farms or ranches
  • Is refundable (producers can get a tax rebate if they do not owe taxes)
  • Cannot overlap with existing grants or tax credits (it cannot be applied to the same practice on the same acreage as another grant)
