Cost-share help from R&R

We’ll help you get started

You don’t have to figure out the Florida program alone. Our part is gathering the info the program needs and getting it in front of the right person, so they can get things moving.

  1. Tell us what you’re interested in. A chute, alley, tub or corral — and your county.
  2. We gather what the program needs. An itemized quote on R&R letterhead, plus the product specs and info your local office asks for.
  3. We get it to the right person, with you copied. We send it to the program office or agent who handles your application, with you on the email, so they can get things moving.

Rather talk? Call Matt at 334-590-7535.

The program decides who qualifies and how much it pays. We help you get started.

For reference

Program details

In part of the Florida Panhandle, the Northwest Florida Water Management District runs an agricultural cost-share for the Jackson Blue Spring area. This is a regional water district program, not statewide, and for handling equipment it covers corrals only (“Portable Corral” is on its eligible-item list). Squeeze chutes aren’t named.

Official program info: Jackson Blue Spring grant funding programs

  • Who runs it: Northwest Florida Water Management District
  • Where: Farm land inside the Jackson Blue Spring groundwater contribution area (Jackson and Calhoun counties)
  • How much: Up to 75%, max $100,000 per grant
  • Deadlines: No deadline is posted. We can check with the program office whether funds are available.

Who qualifies

  • Farm land in the Jackson Blue Spring area.
  • Enrollment in the state (FDACS) Best Management Practices program.

What equipment qualifies

  • Portable corrals (2024 eligible-item list). Whether the list is still current: the program office decides, and we can ask for you.

What the quote and receipt must show

  • A contract must be in place before you buy — buying first disqualifies the purchase.
  • There’s an application and an inspection, with a 5-year agreement. The program office sets the quote format, and we can check it for you.

How it works, step by step

  1. Apply with the Northwest Florida Water Management District before you buy. We can make the first contact for you. A contract must be in place first — buying first disqualifies the purchase.
  2. Get an itemized quote from us in the landowner’s name. The program office sets the quote format, and we can check it for you.
  3. Wait for the inspection and your contract (a 5-year agreement).
  4. Buy.
  5. Send the paid invoice or receipt to get paid back. Each office sets its own order, and we can confirm it with yours for you.

Program rules change, so the details should be confirmed with your local program office before you buy — we can do that with you. Each program decides who qualifies and how much it pays — R&R Livestock Equipment doesn’t run these programs and can’t promise approval.
