National Farm Stewardship program

Is this program still working? Money still available

for now,
I sent in some applications about two months ago, haven't heard anything back yet, however.
I was told the program is still functioning , but they weren't sure about the funding in the future.

My concern is how many projects were approved, and are never going to be completed? This will tie up the funding until their completion deadline.

I wish they would let you begin your project, make your purchase, etc.. then make your application. I'm sure they realize this is what is happening now with back-dated bills etc..

Big pain for all involved in this process, but that's red tape for you.

Yes, it is still going and yes, funding is limited. Got accepted this spring for GPS. Confirmation of acceptance took a long time! Earlier deadlines than before-Nov. instead of end of year.
Was accepted for a project last year that didn't do. Phoned them to say I wasn't proceeding that year. Was told if I intended to reapply this year, to get my application in early as funding was limited. Hope the program is available in the future!
