Thank you for your interest in Direct Seed Loans, a program administered by the Spokane County
Conservation District. Our Direct Seed Loan Program makes it easy for you to switch to direct seed
and no-tillage operations as we offer low-interest loans to producers for major agricultural equipment
purchases that:
- Aid in the direct placement of seed and/or fertilizers in one or two passes
- Aid in the removal or management of residue
To be eligible you must farm within the boundaries of one of the following conservation
districts in eastern Washington: Adams, Benton, Columbia, Eastern Klickitat, Franklin, Grant,
Lincoln, Pine Creek, Palouse, Palouse-Rock Lake, Pomeroy, South Douglas, Spokane, Stevens, Walla
Walla and Whitman. The Benewah Soil and Water Conservation District in north Idaho is also a
participating district.
"We are such strong advocates of direct seeding. With the savings in time, diesel, equipment, the manpower
and all the trips across the ground, we would never go back to a conventional tillage system."
—John Aeschliman,
Whitman County Direct Seeder for 38 Years
