Legal Ledger Brief: Underserved producer funding

USDA is investing up to $2 million in cooperative agreements in 2022 for risk management education and training programs that support historically underserved producers, small-scale farmers and conservation practices.

The Risk Management Agency (RMA) will invest in universities, nonprofits and cooperative extension offices to develop training and education tools to help producers learn how to manage risks and challenges.

“Agriculture is an inherently risky business, and a strong farm safety net is key to sustaining and ensuring the success of American producers,” said RMA Administrator Marcia Bunger.

Interested organizations may apply through the Results Verification System atrvs.umn.eduby March 11.
