The Tennessee Agricultural Enhancement Program (TAEP) was established in 2005 to provide cost share dollars to agricultural producers for the purpose of making long-term investments in Tennessee farms and communities. 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.

More than $207 million has been invested in 68,748 producer projects from 2005 through 2020. Each TAEP dollar generates $6.09 in local economies.

The annual application period is October 1-7, 2023. New application materials will be available mid-August 2023. Please note Hay Storage and Hay Equipment rotate each program year. 

Hay Equipment will be offered in 2023-2024.
