Agricultural Management Assistance (AMA)

Agricultural Management Assistance is a voluntary program that provides financial assistance to eligible agricultural producers who are willing to address priority environmental issues by implementing conservation practices. It is administered by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service.

Producers with an interest in an agricultural operation on eligible land may apply for the program in New York. Eligible crop production includes, but is not limited to: field-grown ornamentals, fruits, orchards, plant materials in greenhouses, row crops, vegetables, and vineyards. Applicants must meet eligibility for Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) certification. Each eligible conservation practice has a Practice Payment Rate (PPR) which is a fixed amount based on a percentage of the state average cost of a typical installation of that practice.

Your application will be ranked based upon national, state and local ranking criteria. Applications will be selected for funding based on these criteria. You will be notified once funding decisions have been made.
