AgWest Farm Credit is offering one-time $15,000 grants to new producers wanting to get started in the business.
“At AgWest Farm Credit, we recognize that a lack of start-up funds can be challenging for many new producers,” the company said. “This program was developed for those who have a vision for their operation but lack the funds to put their plans into action.”
Interested producers may apply though Aug. 31. Eligible producers must be full- or part-time ag professionals who have two years or less of experience or have plans to start their operation within two years; be located within AgWest Farm Credit’s territory; and not be a current AgWest customer.
