Isn’t it a great day to be a beginning farmer?

Practical Farmers of Iowa is working to meet our (300!!!) beginning farmer’s needs. Today we launched our Savings Incentive Program which will help 90 farms build up to $4,800 to spend on a capital purchase (and get a mentor, help with writing a business plan, and farmer networking).

While we raise money to pay out savings matches for this program, we are going to learn how we can best address the Land problem expressed by our beginners.

The objective is to help direct us in how we proceed to get beginners the land that they need. Your responses will help us to know more about your land desires and how to connect farmers with landowners wanting to assist you in your farming efforts.

As always, we will not share any information you provide to us with other groups. This is just for us.

Here is a link to the survey:

Good Luck with your field work this Spring!
