Agricultural/Equipment Rental Services

Rockingham and Strafford County Conservation Districts have partnered up to provide low-cost specialty conservation equipment rentals. Our goal is to help you improve your soils and conserve nutrients, ultimately improving water quality in the Great Bay watershed. Most of our equipment was purchased using grant funds, which allows us to charge very modest rental fees. 100% of the rental fees go towards the repair, maintenance, and eventual replacement of the equipment.

Equipment Rentals

Below are the pieces of equipment we have available for rent. Some of the pieces are rented directly through the RCCD and some are through a third party. Click on the piece of equipment you are interested in renting to find out about the rental process.

  • Plant cover crops, hay and pasture mixes, and more directly into the soil without tillage, even through crop residue and sod.

  • Plant veggies directly into a cover crop for soil health improvement.

  • Use our two row corn planter to plant corn, pumpkins, and squash directly into cover crops!

  • Add pores to the soil and loosen compaction without damaging soil structure as often happens with tilling practices.

  • This small, ground-driven compost spreader can be used to spread nutrients and organic matter on smaller farms that don’t have access to large tractors and spreaders. It is transported on a utility trailer.

  • Spread wood ash or lime to help modify soil pH.

  • A small, walk-behind tractor with several attachments for soil health, nutrient management, and wildlife projects. Use in small-to-medium sized spaces like high tunnels, gardens, and small fields! Equipment is transported in an enclosed cargo trailer that you can tow with a pickup truck and ball hitch.

  • Target subsoil compaction with specially designed shanks at adjustable lengths.

  • Measure the in-field flow of water into a saturated soil.
