Farmland for the Next Generation - Land Access Trainer Cohort

The Farmland for the Next Generation Trainer Cohort played a vital role in creating an adaptable curriculum. They were selected for their expertise and represent diversity in geography, agriculture and of the farmers and ranchers they serve. They field tested the curriculum with producers in their communities, provided on the ground feedback and helped shape the outcome the final product.

“Farmland for the Next Generation” was made possible by a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program, Award # 2015-70017-23901. Special thanks also to the Farm Credit Contributions Program, Farm Credit East, Farm Credit-Mid America, and the members of American Farmland Trust for their generous cash and in-kind contributions.

AFT’s work to support beginning farmers and ranchers find and secure land continues. Thanks to continued funding we, along with our partners, are developing curriculum to support the conversations and interpersonal skills needed during farm and ranch transition.
