The 2008 Farm Bill in New Hampshire

If you own or manage farmland or forest land, run a greenhouse, grow specialty crops, or farm organically in New Hampshire, then the 2008 Farm Bill conservation programs can help you address natural resource concerns and opportunities on your land.  Sign-up is open and continuous for all conservation programs.

The Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 -- also known as the 2008 Farm Bill -- contains new conservation provisions that simplify existing federal programs while maintaining the conservation-based emphasis developed during the preceding two Farm Bills.

You will need a plan -- a conservation plan, conservation activity plan (CAP), or a forest management plan -- to identify the resource concerns and conservation practices needed to meet your conservation and environmental objectives.  Contact your local NRCS field office for help in developing a plan (financial assistance is available to pay for developing some plans) and to apply for financial assistance to implement your conservation practices.
