Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wyoming County Agricultural and Farmland Protection Board, in partnership with the Genesee Valley Conservancy and the Western New York Land Conservancy, will be accepting pre-applications from landowners interested in being considered for NYS Farmland Protection Implementation Grants. This program pays farmers to protect the state\u2019s most productive farmland with permanent conservation easements. The program is completely voluntary, and the land remains in the owners\u2019 hands and can continue to be farmed. However, the land will have permanent restrictions on commercial, residential, and industrial uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interested farmers are invited to attend a Farmland Protection Workshop on Tuesday, April 2nd, 2024 from 6:00 to 7:30pm at Wyoming County Agriculture and Business Center, Room LC1 at 36 Center Street in Warsaw. All interested landowners MUST ATTEND this workshop prior to submitting an application. Registration is required: https:\/\/wyoming-co-farmland-protection.eventbrite.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This program, which is funded by the NYS Department of Agriculture & Markets, reimburses farmers up to 87.5% of the value of the development rights on their land. Two land trusts serve Wyoming County and can submit applications for this grant funding. All farmers wishing to apply to the program must complete a pre-application with their respective land trust. Pre-applications will be evaluated by the land trust and will consider the amount of development pressure, quality of soils to be protected, and farm viability. The highest scoring pre-applications will be invited to have full applications submitted to the program. These pre-applications may also be used to help eligible farms access other farmland protection programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
