The Farm and Ranch Land Protection Program (FRPP)
provides matching funds to help purchase development
rights to keep productive farm and ranch land in
agricultural uses. USDA provides funds to State,
Tribal, or local governments and non-governmental
organizations (eligible entities) to acquire
conservation easements or other interests in land from
landowners. USDA provides up to 50 percent of the
appraised fair market value of the conservation
easement. The eligible entities must provide at least
half of the appraised fair market value of the
conservation easement. The application deadline for FY
2012 FRPP funding consideration is February 1st, 2012 by
4:00pm. Applications received after the deadline will
not be considered for FY 2012 funding. Applications
which were not funded in previous years may be
re-submitted in the 2012 funding cycle using the 2012
program application process. |
