Someone recently sent me this email:
‘My husband’s job is relocating us to the Medford/Ashland/Grant’s Pass area sometime next year. We are currently in Texas. I can’t wait to go; I was born there and spent a large chunk of my childhood in the Portland area. I am very excited. I’ve searched on the internet for houses, farms, etc., and all i get back are the multimillion dollar homes. We want something very simple, very remote and very cheap. What we really want is a farm house in a piece of land we can farm. Is there any chance of getting a grant to help pay for the land if we plan on farming it, because we’re moving due to a job relocation?’
It can never hurt to look into Government grants. This couple plans on farming the land and is moving because of employment. There are several different ways they might qualify for grant money to help them begin their new life!
My cousins are running an old family farm, and everything, from the land to the barn, has fallen into disrepair. They don’t have the capital to fix everything up good enough to be where it should be. They’re hoping to get everything in tip top shape and get some new animals in a repaired barn but aren’t sure how to afford everything.
There are all sorts of farm grants available to people with old farms or new ones. Check with local resources first, and then federal government resources. Don’t let a family farming business fall apart!
The Federal Government wants people to farm the land and with pay you to do so. If you want to buy a piece of land and start a workable farm, depending on where you’re deciding to land, you might qualify for a farm grant. Check with your local county officials first, the ones who are really vested in your decision. They will be able to lead you in the right direction!
My friend has 240 acres of land in Southern Indiana and they need to know where to get some good information on what to farm and how to get started. Their money situation is dire and getting worse so they’re hoping to get information on farm grants and loans to get the land ready and everything in place to start making money. They’re thinking of doing some kind of fruit farm - raspberries or apples, and are interested in maybe growing them organically.
Starting an organic farm, or any other kind of fruit farm, might make you eligible for some kind of state or federal grant money.
"I want to start an organic farm in Ash Fork AZ. Can any one help?"
There are all sorts of new farm grants for farmers needing help getting started, especially when the farm is organic, self-sustaining, or land friendly. Check with local Arizona government agencies about loans and grants before spending any of your own money!
If you manage to get your hands on a big piece of farm land and want to get it back into workable condition, check into local and Federal grants. Money is available for these purposes; the government doesn’t want to see land wasted when it could be being used to produce food for people and livestock.
For farming families struggling with money and trying to work their land into something profitable, a farm grant from the Federal or State government may be able to help keep them afloat.
The USDA will sometimes offer farm grants to those wishing to start or run a farm, to help with startup costs and the costs of maintaining the land. Check with local governments first, which will be especially helpful in rural communitites, then look into Federal resources.
Buying land to start a farm is exciting - using government farm grant money to help pay for it is even better! If you can reduce your startup costs through grants and federal incentives, imagine how much more capital you’ll have to put into your new venture. Start by checking locally and then looking into rural state grant programs.
A local man recently died, leaving behind a 5.5 acre apple orchard. His three sons want to keep it but don’t have the funds to take it over and maintain it. Using a farm grant to help ‘purchase’ the land and then maintain it would enable them to continue their father’s legacy. Starting with community conservation groups, they’ll find different kinds of grants that they will qualify for.
