With the average age of farmers in NC at 59.6 and an estimated 705,000 acres (9.5% of all NC farmland) that will transition ownership from 2015 and 2019, NC FarmLink needs to work fast.
As of January 1, 2020, we have just over 2,400 clients who are seeking a farming opportunity. Some are ready to purchase land, while others seek lease, mentorship, apprenticeship, business partnership, or employment. On the other hand, we only have 88 farm opportunities in our system. The program has successfully matched 52 farmers with landowners since 2014. See our Success Stories page for more information on our landowner/farmer matches.
NC FarmLink receives core funding from NC State Extension. With your help, we could do so much more, including outreach programs, greater one on one farm transition coaching and guidance, as well as promoting stewardship options that keep farmland productive..
If you value this program, we would appreciate your financial support. Continue below to learn more about options you have to support NC Farmlink.

Give Through Payroll Deduction
NC State faculty and staff can make a monthly contribution to NC State to the area of their choice via payroll deduction. Visit the NC State Employee Payroll Deduction Portal to start a new deduction or manage your existing deduction. Payroll deduction can also be managed via paper form
Gifts of Securities
Gifts of securities may allow for tax benefits for the donor by bypassing capital gains taxes and providing an income tax deduction. Gifts of appreciated securities held for more than a year are generally deductible at market value, regardless of the purchase price.
When making a gift of securities to NC State it is important you notify us in advance of making the transfer. This will help us ensure proper crediting and acknowledgment takes place. If you are interested in making a gift of securities, contact Gifts & Records at stockgifts@ncsu.edu or 919-515-7827 for further instructions.
