As millions of acres are expected to change hands over the next few years, many Americans are thinking about who the next generation of producers will be. Veterans could step in to fill the need, according to a white paper released by the Center for Rural Affairs. The white paper highlights the needs of America’s next generation of producers, which includes people who served their country and are now pursuing a second career in agriculture. It outlines farm programs specifically targeting beginning and veteran farmers and ranchers, including FSA loan programs and NRCS programs. (Brainerd Dispatch)
