If you are based in Connecticut and planning a capital investment in your agricultural business, then join Farm Credit East and Connecticut Farm Bureau for an informational webinar on how the Connecticut Investment Tax Credit (ITC) program can benefit your operation.

There are a number of grants and incentives available for Northeast agriculture businesses, but learning about their availability and navigating the application process can be a challenge. To help with this, Farm Credit East has released an update to its report identifying federal, regional and state grants, loan guarantees, and other incentives available to assist Northeast producers of all types and sizes.
