Financial, Credit, and Marketing Training for Socially-Disadvantaged,
Limited-Resource, and Beginning Farmers and Ranchers in Montana

The goal of this program is to provide financial, farm program, crop insurance, and commodity marketing management education to beginning farmers and ranchers.  Though the focus of the program is on American Indian producers, all beginning farmers/ranchers are encouraged to participate in the workshop opportunities that will be provided at both the MGGA and MSGA Conventions over the next three years.
