“Agricultural operations” is defined from ARB’s Regulation for In- Use Off-Road Diesel Vehicles (Title 13 CCR § 2449): and means (1) the growing or harvesting of crops from soil (including forest

• perations), and the raising of plants at wholesale nurseries, but not

retail nurseries, or the raising of fowl or animals for the primary purpose of making a profit, providing a livelihood, or conducting agricultural research or instruction by an educational institution, or (2) agricultural crop preparation services such as packinghouses, cotton gins, nut hullers and processors, dehydrators, and feed and grain mills. Agricultural crop preparation services include only the first processing after harvest, not subsequent processing, canning, or other similar

• activities. For forest operations, agricultural crop preparation services

include milling, peeling, producing particleboard and medium density fiberboard, and producing woody landscape materials.

Mobile Equipment Funding Amounts

Projects will be funded based on a dollar per horsepower basis determined by the horsepower of the engine in the new

• equipment. Please note that only wheel loaders have a separate funding allowance. Co-Funding from multiple agencies, in-

cluding NRCS, is not allowed for the same equipment. Wheel Loaders (advertised horsepower rating) SJVAPCD Incentive All Horsepower Ratings $450/hp All other Tractors & Equipment (advertised horse power rating) SJVAPCD Incentive 25-109 $200/hp 110-149 $250/hp 150 + $350/hp
