I keep reading articles and such about how the farm bill sets aside funding to assist beginning farmer and ranchers but I have yet to find out how to get to it or apply for it!
Most of the grants I have found require you to have three years of farming under your belt and that is what they call a “beginning” farmer. Well then, what am I??
Check out the latest news that my husband found today:

I guess we are being trendy- not what I planned to do, and it is not an easy undertaking by any means. It will be a lot of back-breaking HARD work. But I know that it will all be worth it when we can share our fabulous organic produce with our community.
Man, I really want to get started…I guess the question is still this: “Does anyone want to buy our condo in the city of Chicago?”
Drop me a line if you do…
or better yet- “want to invest in the farm??” we are accepting donations!
Cheers!

Hi:
I’ve posted a lot of stuff on my blog about ag entrepreneurship. I certainly wish you all the best with the farm and hope to see you at ag events.
Best,
Rich Schell
