The Tennessee Department of Agriculture (TDA) is accepting applications for the third round of funding for the Tennessee Forestry, Agriculture, and Rural Markets cost share program.
FARM will provide financial assistance to agricultural, food, forestry, and nonprofit agricultural entities in Tennessee.
“Tennessee’s Financial Stimulus Accountability Group allocated funds to invigorate rural economies and fuel the state’s overall economy,” Agriculture Commissioner Charlie Hatcher, D.V.M. said. “This funding will uphold agriculture and forestry as the top industries in Tennessee and go a long way to secure the success of farming and forestry operations.”
Applications will be accepted until March 31, 2024.
The FARM cost share program will fund projects that promote stabilizing and strengthening the supply chain to prevent future challenges. Businesses that receive financial assistance from the FARM program are not required to repay the funds. Funding is disbursed on a reimbursement basis.
FARM cost share details can be found online at www.tn.gov/FARM. Contact TDA’s Business Development Division at [email protected] with questions.
