Richmond, VA – According to the state officials, the new website is reportedly designed to provide new and beginning agricultural producers with a list of available public resources to assist them in planning and starting their operations.
The list of resources includes financial information, farm planning, training programs, technical assistance, conservation information, farm safety, and farm stress.
The site also contains links to videos from a recent seminar, hosted by the Virginia Secretary of Agriculture and Forestry and Virginia State University.
These seminar videos allow viewers to hear directly from subject matter experts, gain insight into public and private financing options, and hear questions asked by other prospective farmers.
