FARMLAND RESTORATION PROGRAM APPLICATION DEADLINE. New deadline is JAN. 15

The Connecticut Department of Agriculture (DoAg) announces a change to the Farmland Restoration Program (FLRP) application process. Historically, the FLRP has accepted applications year-round. However, to streamline the process, an annual deadline has been implemented. Applications for projects planned in the upcoming calendar year should be submitted by January 15, 2021.
 
The FLRP is a voluntary program to restore lands into active agricultural production with the main objective of increasing food and fiber production in Connecticut.  The program focuses on restoring and improving land with prime and important farmland soils, in accordance with a Farmland Restoration Program Plan. Each application can qualify for a reimbursement payment of up to $20,000.  
 
For additional information on the program and how to apply, please click here. All applications must be submitted electronically to Agr.Grants@ct.gov on or before January 15, 2021.
 
Questions regarding the FLRP can be directed to Lance Shannon:  Lance.Shannon@ct.gov; or via phone at 860-713-2531 or 860-993-4088.
