Opportunities for New and Beginning Farmers
Author: Danny Adams
Planning Unit: Wayne County CES
Major Program: Small Farm Management
Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
New and Beginning Farmers have the opportunity to apply for cost share through the local CAIP Funds and KSU Small Farmer Grant Funds. These funds help with investments in production practices along with adding value to the enterprises with the KSU Small Farmer Grant.
I have helped farmers with their applications to get approved along with making sure they have their receipts and reports done the way the programs require. By having someone to talk with about their application and help finish forms makes it possible for the people in Wayne County to know someone is there to help.
The 107 approved farmers for CAIP cost share and the several KSU Small Farmer Grants approved will benefit farmers with thousands of dollars for Wayne County farmers.
