USDA announced it is investing in two outreach and education efforts for farmers and ranchers, including those new to farming or historically underserved by USDA programs.
USDA’s Farm Service Agency is investing $10 million in agriculture-oriented taxpayer education in the new Taxpayer Education and Asset Protection Initiative. The partnership with the University of Arkansas, the National Farm Income Tax Extension Committee and others establishes hubs for taxpayer education while developing and delivering tax education resources.
USDA is also investing $4.5 million in outreach for the Conservation Reserve Program’s Transition Incentives Program (CRP TIP). For CRP TIP, $4.5 million will be awarded to stakeholder organizations to conduct outreach and provide technical assistance to promote the program.
Producers interested in CRP TIP and other USDA programs should contact their local USDA Service Center to learn more or to apply for programs.
