American Farmland Trust’s Farmland Information Center conducts an annual survey of state Purchase of Agricultural Conservation Easement (PACE) programs to track the activity of state farmland protection programs across the U.S.

The 2023 Status of State PACE Programs table summarizes important information about PACE programs in the 30 states that have funded easement acquisitions. The accompanying graphics for this year’s table can be found below.

State PACE tables from previous years are also available on this page.
