State Conservation Commission Starts Accepting Resource Enhancement & Protection Farm Conservation Tax Credit Applications Aug. 1

The
State Conservation Commission will start accepting first-come, first-serve applications for the Resource Enhancement and Protection Farm Conservation Tax Credit Program August 1 through September 1.

REAP provides tax credits at levels of 50%, 75%, or 90% of costs incurred in the implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs), including planning and engineering, materials, labor, etc., depending on the practice. 

Pennsylvania tax credits are issued after the installation of a practice or purchase of eligible equipment, and state or federal cost-share portions of a project are ineligible.

Applicants must have up-to-date Agricultural Erosion and Sedimentation (E&S) Plans or Conservation Plans and Manure/Nutrient Management Plans for all acres farmed, and credits are provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

There are a few updates and changes to the program to ensure opportunities for farms of all sizes and types, so be sure to check it out to determine eligibility! 

Find more information, visit the Commission’s Resource Enhancement and Protection Farm Conservation Tax Credit Program webpage.

Questions should be directed to Joel Semke, the REAP Program Administrator at 717-705-4032 or jsemke@pa.gov
