Updated Guide to USDA Programs Opens Door to Millions of Dollars of Available
Funding



http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs167/1102273461637/img/131.jpg

The USDA has a wide range of financial assistance programs, but finding the
right one can be difficult, complicated further by trying to stay up to date
with changes in funding following each Farm Bill.


Thanks to the newly updated guide Building Sustainable Farms, Ranches and
Communities: A Guide to Federal Programs for Sustainable Agriculture,
Forestry, Entrepreneurship, Conservation, Food Systems, and Community
Development, producers, researchers, nonprofits and landowners can find
programs to help them achieve their goals.



The 86-page guide covers 63 government programs and has been updated to
include programs included in the 2014 Farm Bill. Each listing provides a
description of the program's available resources, information on how to
apply, and in some cases, examples of how the funding has been used.
Additionally, the guide includes basic information on how to design sound
projects, find appropriate programs and write grant applications.



"Building Sustainable Farms, Ranches and Communities provided me with
concise, comprehensive, well-organized and user-friendly information on
federal grant programs," says Mary Holland, a regional food systems
entrepreneur who serves the Upper Midwest.



Beginning farmers faced with hefty start-up costs can use the guide to find
grants and loans, in addition to technical assistance. Landowners will find
opportunities to be compensated for participating in land and energy
conservation programs. And experienced producers looking to conduct research
to improve agricultural practices can find programs to help foster innovation
on their farm.



The guide also opens doors for people who have never applied for USDA funding
before. "I use this wonderful guide with start-up nonprofits all over the
country. The guides are especially valuable because most groups I work with
aren't familiar with federal programs. It's great having something that's so
concise and also helps people understand how to go and look for additional
resources," says Lorna Donaldson, a Tennessee farmer and national sustainable
agriculture enterprise consultant.



Building Sustainable Farms, Ranches and Communities was developed through a
partnership between the Michael Fields Agricultural Institute (MFAI), the
National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT) and the National
Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC), with support from SARE and other
USDA agencies. The guide was first published in 1997 and this is the 4th
update.
