As we move into the fall outreach season, DCR wants to share tools designed to make promoting the VACS program easier and more effective. Below are two ready-to-use resources your district can plug directly into upcoming outreach efforts.

VACS Flyers

Record VACS funding is available for program year 2027! DCR’s Agricultural Cost-Share Marketing Toolkit has a flyer overviewing the environmental and economic benefits of the VACS program along with several flyers promoting specific BMPs. These flyers are designed to help districts communicate the value of VACS-supported practices in clear, visually-engaging language that resonates with producers. 

Districts can customize these with their name, phone number, email address and website in the lower right corner. Simply type in the fillable fields.   



Add these flyers to your website, pull content from them to create new landing pages for specific BMPs, or print them out to pass out at events.

• Overview: Ag BMP Cost-Share Program 
• Livestock Stream Exclusion 
• Conservation Buffers 
• Continuous Cover Crops 
• Continuous No-Till 
• Nutrient Management Plan 
• Grazing Land Management 

Radio Ad

Expand your VACS outreach efforts in rural communities through local radio. This ready-to-use 30-second PSA script promoting the VACS program can be shared with local radio stations to help raise awareness of available cost-share funding opportunities and encourage farmers to learn more about the program. 



This PSA introduces VACS, underscores its role in supporting profitable and conservation-minded farming, and directs listeners to their local SWCD for more information. Short, clear and designed for broad audiences, the script is ideal for seasonal outreach or ongoing promotion.  

If your district has relationships with local broadcasters—or is looking to build them—this is an easy win for increasing awareness among producers who may not be active online.
