Tennessee Agricultural Enhancement Program (TAEP)
Since 2005 the Tennessee Agricultural Enhancement Program (TAEP) has supported agriculture in Tennessee by providing cost share funds for long term investments in Tennessee’s livestock and farming operations. Participation in this program has allowed producers to maximize farm profits, adapt to changing market situations, improve operation safety, increase farm efficiency and make positive economic impacts in their communities.
TAEP is a direct result of the State of Tennessee’s continued commitment to supporting farm development and Tennessee’s agricultural community.
