Description:
Do you want to be part of the next generation of farmers and ranchers?
Join us for a one-hour webinar covering the USDA Beginning Farmer & Rancher Development Program (BFRDP), a major federal funding opportunity designed to help new agricultural producers build the skills, knowledge, and resources needed for long-term success.
With more than $44 million in funding available and grant awards ranging from $49,999 to $750,000, BFRDP supports innovative education, training, outreach, and technical assistance programs that empower beginning farmers and ranchers nationwide.
During this webinar, we’ll break down program priorities, eligible applicants and activities, funding levels, and strategies for developing a strong proposal. Participants will also learn how BFRDP-funded projects can advance sustainability, strengthen rural communities, and create meaningful impact for underserved and emerging agricultural producers.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how your organization can cultivate new possibilities through USDA funding.
