Tennessee Agricultural Enhancement Program

alternate_text

TAEP was developed to promote long term investments in Tennessee's livestock and farming operations by providing cost share funds to qualifying producers. TAEP allows producers to maximize farm profits, adapt to current market situations and prepare for the future. In addition, TAEP also enables producers to make a positive economic impact in their community. TAEP is a direct result of the State of Tennessee's continued commitment to supporting farm development and Tennessee's agricultural community.
