Farm Viability Grants Open Until Jun 18

The National Farm Viability Grant supports farmers and ranchers across the United States by providing direct financial assistance to strengthen operations and help farms and ranches remain resilient, viable, and well-positioned for the future. Sponsored by the American Farmland Trust, this program will award grants up to $10,000 per project. A project may involve one or more individual farmers or farm families. Only one grant can be awarded per farmer/farm family. The operation must have produced more than $1,000 in agricultural products sold, bartered, or exchanged in the most recent growing year.

Land tenure (ownership, a lease, license, or other written agreement) for a reasonable time period will be required for projects that involve on-the-ground improvements to farmland. If tenure is less than five years, please be prepared to demonstrate in the application that the tenure is sufficient in relation to the improvements being made or services being provided.

Eligible project types include professional services, equipment, or infrastructure toward:

1) Pursuing secure land tenure, farmland acquisition, land transfer or succession planning, 2) Implementing regenerative farming practices, 3) Improving business operations and financial stability
