Agriculture cost sharing applications are avaailable
The Tennessee Department of Agriculture has expanded the application schedule for the 2016 Tennessee Agricultural Enhancement Program. Applications will be accepted online and by mail October 1 through November 1. Under the cost sharing program, producers fulfill requirements to defray the costs of certain investments in their operation. The goal is to increase profitability and efficiency while promoting long-term investments in Tennessee's agriculture. This year's expanded schedule will allow producers more time to apply and offer more dry days for building structures. "Producers' needs evolve over time," Agriculture Commissioner Jai Templeton said. "We continue to review and modify the TAEP program to meet those changing priorities. Our goal is to make this program flexible just as our producers have to be in order to succeed in the agriculture industry." Applications are available at most farm agencies including USDA Farm Service Agency on West Broadway in Newport, as well as UT Extension and Farm Bureau offices, as well as many farm supply stores. To ensure accuracy, producers are encouraged to work with their local extension agent or TDA representative when completing the application.
