Grants and Other Assistance for Shepherds with Becca Tucker, Sara Kidd and Heather Hutchinson
About Grants and Other Assistance for Shepherds with Becca Tucker, Sara Kidd and Heather Hutchinson
Becca Tucker, of the Frederick County Office of Agriculture, likes to be the first point of contact for farmers in Frederick County, Maryland. They help connect farms to other local resources, programs, or individuals based on their specific needs. Some information will be provided about the different organizations that businesses can connect with for assistance such as Maryland Department of Agriculture, University of Maryland Extension, Soil Conservation (local, state, federal), USDA Farm Service Agency, Maryland Agriculture & Resource-Based Financing (MARBIDCO), and Future Harvest. The importance of business plans will be briefly discussed as these are often needed for funding.
Heather Hutchinson, of the Frederick County Soil Conservation District, will also present information on the state cost share programs and initiatives.
