Farm Beginnings Farm Planning Track & Skills Assessments
LSP's Farm Beginnings program is based upon the idea that beginning farmers can greatly increase their chances of success by continually investing in their education over time. Such an investment can be made by seeking out experts, attending field days and other educational events, and making skills assessments and annual learning plans part of their overall farming plan. Below are resources that can help beginning farmers begin that lifelong learning process.
