TAEP provides cost share funds for long term investments in livestock and farming operations. Participation allows producers to maximize farm profits, adapt to changing market situations, improve operation safety, increase farm efficiency and make a positive economic impact in their communities. TAEP is a direct result of Tennessee’s commitment to supporting farm development and Tennessee’s agricultural community.
