Carl Moyer & FARMER Program

Four different heavy machinery: two tractors, a skidder, and a log truck loaded with logs.

The Carl Moyer Program was established in 1998 as a partnership between the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and local air districts. This grant program provides funding for replacing, repowering, or retrofitting eligible heavy-duty engines with cleaner-than-required technology.

The Funding Agricultural Replacement Measures for Emission Reductions (FARMER) Program provides funding through local air districts for agricultural harvesting equipment, heavy-duty trucks, agricultural pump engines, tractors, UTVs, and other equipment used in agricultural operations. The FARMER Program is supported in part by California Climate Investments, a statewide program that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work.

The 2024 application period for the Carl Moyer Program and FARMER Program closed on May 23, 2024. The applications below are for informational purposes only and may change before the next funding round.
