Florida NRCS Agricultural Land Easement Signup Ends Wednesday

Clint Thompson Florida

The deadline for applications to fund Agricultural Land Easements (ALE) in Florida is Wednesday, May 6.

USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) will provide financial assistance to conservation partners to purchase an ALE that protects the agricultural use of cropland, rangeland, grassland, pastureland and nonindustrial private forestland. While applications are accepted on a continuous basis, funding selections are typically made once a year.

E-mail Crenel Francis or call 352-338-9508 for questions and submissions.
