“Last year we obligated more than $2.5 million through FRPP,” said Angel Figueroa, NRCS director of the Pacific Islands Area.
The Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program is a voluntary program to help farmers and ranchers preserve their agricultural land. The program provides matching funds to state, tribal, and local governments, and nongovernmental organizations with farmland protection programs to purchase conservation easements.
