A Tech-Enabled Solution to Manage USDA RCPP Programs
Conservation funding is available but remains constrained by all the data, oversight and verification needed to move it.
Specifically, multi-state RCPP programs require coordination across nonprofits, local advisors, farmers and NRCS. Field boundaries come in different formats. Eligibility has to be verified. Reporting requirements vary by state. Data still moves through spreadsheets, PDFs, and email.
For organizations leading these programs, that complexity makes it harder to scale. For farmers, it can mean slower approvals and reimbursement risk.
CIBO is changing that. Through its purpose-built centralized, configurable platform, CIBO helped Sand County Foundation manage a $14 million RCPP initiative across Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa through the 2025 growing season.
CIBO’s platform and technical expertise provide flexible, state-specific program configuration, centralized data, and reporting for Sand County Foundation and NRCS. This single system standardizes field boundary data, tracks enrollment, and supports reporting to NRCS. NRCS reviewers also have earlier visibility into applications, helping reduce rework and eligibility issues later in the process.
The result is a clearer, more efficient path from enrollment to verification to funding.
