Farmland for the Next Generation is an interactive program series that addresses three paths to land access: leasing, purchasing and receiving land through inheritance or gift. It utilizes a skills-based approached that focuses on what people need to be able to do, not just on what they need to know. This four-session virtual workshop series will be offered on Monday evenings from Nov. 7 to 28 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. EST, according to a news release from Purdue Extension.
Industry representatives, farmers and Purdue Extension educators will be presenting a variety of topics throughout the four-sessions that will help prepare you for future land acquisitions. Some of the topics they will cover include financial readiness, paths to land access, finding farmland, assessing farmland suitability and success stories.
The registration fee for this workshop is $50. Individuals wanting to participate in this virtual workshop can sign up at https://tinyurl.com/Farmland22. The deadline for registration is Oct. 31.
This curriculum was created by the American Farmland Trust, supported by a four-year Educational Enhancement grant from the USDA Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development program.
