Owning your farm or ranch is a dream to pursue. With the implementation of the 2008 Farm Bill, government agencies are reaching out to those who want to begin farming. The Iowa State University Extension has been assisting people for 15 years, encouraging and helping those interested in starting a farm or ranch.
WOWT-DT, Omaha reported, “Government programs play a major role in assisting young people who wish to pursue a farming career. In addition to the 2008 Farm Bill changes, the state of Iowa also has developed programs that have proven to be valuable tools,†said Dave Baker, Beginning Farmer Center farm transition specialist. “The Center monitors existing and new programs that can be a part of farm families succession plans. Several basic programs at the national level will give more opportunities to beginning farmers.â€
Just a few changes include more loans and grants for programs designed to aid those interested in farming.
Farm Plus Financial can work in conjuction with some of the beginning farm programs offered through various government agencies such as the FSA (Farm Service Agency). For more information on farm loans or ranch loans visit Farmers Plus Financial.
