Extended Deadline for applications to the Farmland Ranchland Protection Program

The Farmland Legacy Program (FLP) has been notified that NRCS Washington State has extended its deadline for applications to the Farmland Ranchland Protection Program (FRPP). Due to this extended deadline, the FLP is accepting application submittals to the program and those applications received by February 24, 2012, will be eligible for further submittal to the FRPP. It is the intent of the FLP to maximize the dollars spent on farmland protection and subsequently partner with a variety of funding entities. Currently the FLP reviews, scores and ranks properties biannually and those properties with matching funds will receive additional points in their score.

Please direct any questions to Kendra Smith, Executive Director, at (360) 419-3303.
