USDA announces $19 million in education grants for beginning farmers and ranchers. The reasons for the renewed interest in beginning farmer and rancher programs are: the rising average age of U.S. farmers, the 8% projected decrease in the number of farmers and ranchers between 2008 and 2018, and the growing recognition that new programs are needed to address the needs of the next generation of beginning farmers and ranchers. Applications due June 12. For information about how to apply, go to the USDA site.
