Are you a young, beginning or small scale farmer?
We’re interested in preserving the farms that have made rural America such a special place. An important part of accomplishing that goal is to assist young, beginning or small scale farmers with their financing needs. If you are a young, beginning or small scale farmer, together we can work closely with many government and farm organizations, including the FSA Guarantee Program, to get you started. You may qualify as a young, beginning or small scale farmer if you meet the following criteria:
- A young farmer is one who is 35 years of age or younger.
- A beginning farmer is one who has 10 or fewer years farming, ranching or aquatic agriculture experience.
- A small scale farmer is one who generates less than $250,000 in annual gross agricultural or aquatic sales.
