Overview
Counties are eligible for grants up to $50,000 or 50% of the cost (whichever is less) for developing a county agriculture and farmland protection plan. The county share of funding must be provided in at least 20% cash (no more than 80% in in-kind services) and any two counties may collaborate on an application.
Any county that has established an agricultural and farmland protection board and has not had an agricultural and farmland protection plan approved by the Commissioner in the last ten years is eligible for funding.
