Caribbean Area NRCS Programs

Updated 04/04/2013

The conservation provisions in the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Farm Bill) provide conservation opportunities for farmers and ranchers, building on the conservation gains made by farmers and ranchers through the 1985, 1996 and 2002 Farm Bills.

The Caribbean Area NRCS has set three cut off dates as application deadlines for Fiscal Year 2013 funding opportunities:

• October 19, 2012
• November 16, 2012
• December 21, 2012

These deadlines have been established contingent on Fiscal Year 2013 funding being allocated pending passage of a new Farm Bill or reauthorization of the existing 2008 Farm Bill.  Applications received by these cut off dates will be evaluated and prioritized for the pending 2013 funding. Applications will be batched and ranked according to cut off dates and funds availability.
