Advanced Beginning Farmer Listening Sessions

Are you a beginning farmer who has been farming at least four years? If so, these listening sessions are for you!

Farmers like you are telling us they still have hurdles to overcome. New challenges of growing a business include securing more capital, land and even managing employees.

We want to help you overcome these barriers. Practical Farmers will host five listening sessions across the state to meet with beginning farmers facing issues

of sustaining and growing their farm and profit margin. These sessions will be aimed at farmers with at least four years of farming experience. With the information we gather, we will organize opportunities to help you overcome your barriers and meet your farming goals.

COST:

Free and open to all beginning farmers who have been farming on their own for at least four years. Supper will be provided.
