Supporters |What Are People Saying? PA farmers continue to invest in conservation practices, improving water quality.
The Resource Enhancement and Protection program (REAP) is a state tax credit program that allows farmers and businesses to earn tax credits in exchange for implementing best management practices to enhance farm production and protect natural resources. Farmers can receive tax credits of up to $150,000 per agricultural operation for 50 or 75 percent of the total cost of a conservation project, depending on the best management practice implemented. Farmers may also qualify for a 50 percent tax credit to purchase no-till planting equipment. The program is administered by the State Conservation Commission and the tax credits are awarded by the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue.
