CropSWAP (Sustainable Water for Agriculture Production) is a grant funded program designed to sustain the local agricultural community with crop conversion projects to replace high water use crops with lower use water crops. 

What is Crop Conversion? 

The purpose of the CropSWAP is to help rate payers import less water to reduce costs and provide farmers with savings through a crop conversion. The CropSWAP replaces an active orchard with a minimum of two acres, to a water saving crop to reduce water costs and maintain the legacy of the agricultural area. An additional opportunity is available for avocado growers to replace old trees with the Avocado Rootstock Upgrade. The Rootstock of mature avocado trees are replaced with new disease-free, salt and drought tolerant rootstocks.
