Provide dedicated state, federal, and private funding for technical assistance, programming, and mediation for farm succession programs

Funding will: 

  • Provide financial support for farmers to participate in succession planning programs. 
  • Develop more farm succession education opportunities throughout the state. 
  • Develop a mentorship program that provides opportunity for relationship building and skill/knowledge transfer between generations. 
  • Develop agriculture-specific training for service providers. 
  • Form more service provider networks, like the NH Food Alliance, to collaborate on farm succession programming specifically.
