Funding Resources for Farmers

Author: T. Adam Probst

Planning Unit: Woodford County CES

Major Program: Farm Management

Plan of Work: Commercial Production

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

Funding resources for farmers are often crucial to starting a new farm business and even sustaining an existing one. The Woodford County Extension Office receives many inquiries from clientele asking about grants, loans, and cost share opportunities to help offset the costs of either starting their farm business or expanding, sustaining, and/or diversifying their current operation. In an effort to pull all of the funding resources together, the Woodford County Extension Service partnered with the Woodford County Conservation District to plan and host a morning workshop on funding opportunities for farmers. Representatives from government and state organizations discussed grants, loans, and cost share resources.  Almost 90 beginning and established farmers attended the program. One participant stated that he has already implemented improved practices on his farm from funding resources he learned about the year before.
