This program will focus on farmland conversation strategies that Maine Farmland Trust is using to protect Maine's farmland. Learn what an agricultural easement is, how you can transfer your farm to the next generation, and how MFT is helping farmers find affordable farmland.
Once a year the Maine Farms for the Future Program offers ag business development grants on a competetive basis. Phase 1 grants assist farms with developing written business plans. Eighteen months later, Phase 2 grants and/or low interest loans help selected farms implement their plans.
We will walk you through the application process, answer your questions and discuss what is required to stay enrolled in these current use property tax programs.
