FYI
Today, Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Wilton Simpson announced the opening of an application cycle for landowners to apply to the Rural and Family Lands Protection Program. The program partners with farmers and ranchers through rural lands protection easements to preserve working agricultural operations that contribute to Florida's economy and produce our food and fiber. Landowners can now submit their applications online through January 23, 2026. More information on the program and the application process can be found here: https://tinyurl.com/yc4dahdb
