Rural And Family Land Protections Grants Open

Florida Agriculure Commissioner Wilton Simpson has announced the opening of the 2023 application cycle for landowners to apply for the Rural and Family Lands Protection Program. 

After Commissioner Simpson helped to secure $300 million in funding for the program over the last two years, landowners can now submit their online application to the department until July 27, 2023, at 5 p.m. EST.

The program is designed to meet three needs:

Protect valuable agricultural lands.

Create easement documents that work together with agricultural production to ensure sustainable agricultural practices and reasonable protection of the environment without interfering with agricultural operations in such a way that could put the continued economic viability of these operations at risk.

Protect natural resources, not as the primary purpose, but in conjunction with the economically viable agricultural operations.
