This is a recording of the third and final webinar in the 2026 NRCS ACEP-ALE Webinar Series, hosted by American Farmland Trust’s National Agricultural Land Network (NALN) and Farmland Information Center (FIC) in partnership with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).

In this session, NRCS Easement Programs Division staff discuss how initial state allocations for ACEP-ALE and ACEP-WRE are developed at the beginning of the fiscal year and describe how funds assessment procedures work to ensure states have funding for easements throughout the year.
