Farm and Ranch Lands Protection ProgramThe Pacific Islands NRCS is accepting applications for the Farm and Ranchlands Protection Program. Applications are accepted on a continuous basis throughout the year. However, to be considered for this ranking period, eligible applications must be received before the close of business on February 11, 2012. Applications received after this date will be held for a second ranking period with a cutoff date of April 20, 2012. A final deadline of June 15, 2012 will be used to take advantage of possible late-year funding shifts from other states. Those qualifying, but not funded, will be considered for the 2013 Fiscal Year with the agreement of the applicant and funding permitting. The Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program (FRPP) is a voluntary program to help farmers and ranchers preserve their agricultural land. The program provides matching funds to State, Tribal, and local governments, and nongovernmental organizations with farmland protection programs to purchase conservation easements. The Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program to date has enrolled 533,068 acres on 2,764 farms and ranches since 1996 nationwide. That area has included 386,444 acres of prime, unique, and important farmland soil or about 72 percent of the total acreage enrolled. The program has also enrolled 50,007 acres of upland forest, 13,287 acres of forested wetlands, and 29,174 acres of non-forested wetlands.
