Program Objective
This grant program functions to assist various audiences, particularly those who have limited social and economic resources. Funding supports practical, research-based educational opportunities that respond to the changing needs of these clients, who are often families owning small to medium-size farms. The workshops and programs enhance the marketing skills of these farmers so they can place their products in local, national, and global markets. It also supports training for small farmers and landowners to acquire adequate capital, adopt new technologies, and use estate planning and tax incentive programs to retain operations and increase profitability.
