Farm Credit East has released an updated report to help Northeast producers identify grants and incentives. There are a number of funding opportunities available to assist Northeast agriculture businesses, but learning about their availability and navigating the application process can be a challenge. This report provides federal, regional and state grants, loan guarantees, and other incentives available to assist Northeast producers of all types and sizes. 

In conjunction with National Farmers Market Week, Farm Credit East is announcing its recent awarding of $92,000 in small grants to 175 farmers markets and farmers market organizations across the Northeast.

Farm Credit East, the Northeast’s largest agricultural lender, recently awarded $206,000 in higher education scholarships to 38 student recipients. Farm Credit East’s scholarship program supports students with diverse career aspirations in agriculture, commercial fishing, forest products and related fields from across the association’s eight-state territory.

The Farm Credit Northeast AgEnhancement Program, a joint effort of Farm Credit East and CoBank, recently provided $127,500 in grant funding to 29 organizations to assist their efforts to encourage youth leadership development, support young and beginning farmer initiatives, promote diversity, equity and inclusion, and advance northeast agriculture, forestry and commercial fishing.
