Interesting Program in Iowa

Just before going to sleep tonight, I happened across this program in Iowa to help connect those who want to farm but can't afford the initial start-up costs, with those who are planning to retire in the next five to 10 years and have no one to continue the farm.

This interesting program is not just limited to Iowa farmland. There are also farmers in Illinois, Missouri, Wisconsin and even Texas who are taking part in this program. More information on this grand program (Called the 'Farm On' program) can be found here, on the Iowa State University Extension website.

There may be similar programs in other states. Expect more posts about this. Programs of this nature may be the only way to keep small farms going.
