Forestry Incentives Program
On May 13, 2002, the 2002 Farm Bill
de-authorized the Forestry Incentives Program (FIP), which was originally
authorized in 1978 to share up to 65 percent of the costs of tree planting,
timber stand improvements, and related practices on non-industrial private
forest lands. Funds remaining on May 13, 2002 will be exhausted through FIP
closeout, primarily funding the existing contractual backlog.
Additional Information
Additional information is available from NRCS, the

Farm Service Agency (FSA), the

Extension Service, State forestry agencies, or your
