We can help!
The Center for Rural Affairs is looking to help you! We are able to offer assistance to selected beginning farmers and ranchers in our new Individual Development Account Program.
How does it work?
You will:
· Contribute a regular monthly savings deposit ($500 by August 31, 2014)
· Develop a business plan for your farm/ranch
· Meet with a mentor to discuss your plans
· Plan to purchase land, farm assets, or education with your savings
CFRA will:
· Select applicants for the program
· Match your savings, up to $500 - that is $1,000 towards your dream!
· Review your progress with you
If you are:
Have farmed/ranched no more than 10 years AND
