This link popped up in a RSS feed I subscribe to (from Ohio State University Extension)

Agriculture Secretary Vilsack Announces Grants to Support Beginning Farmers and Ranchers across 24 States

New, Expanded Efforts Underscore USDA’s Commitment to Young, Beginning and Socially-Disadvantaged Farmers
Might be of interest if you are just getting started. I think I saw that a "beginning" farmer is someone who has been farming for less than 10 years.

You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands - You shall be happy and it shall be well with you. -Psalm 128.2

Hi Brenda,

Thanks for sharing this. It's really interesting.
It says that it covers 24 states but I can't find where it says which 24 states (I'm looking for Maine).
I tried the links that are embedded in the text, but no luck so far. Do you know which states this covers?

Thanks, again, for posting this.

Karen
