Farmland protection is about keeping farmland open and working for future years to come! The FPIG Program application is a lengthy process with many components and site plans are a significant portion of this application. NYSDAM is offering an educational opportunity by conducting a voluntary site plan review process to prepare landowners for this competitive process.
