Dear Beginning Farmer and Rancher Supporters,

 

Earlier this month the National Institute for Food and Agriculture (NIFA) released a Request for Applications (RFA) for the 2015 Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program (BFRDP).

 

The deadline for applications is 5:00 pm EST on Friday, March 13.

 

The RFA is posted on NIFA's website: http://www.nifa.usda.gov/funding/rfas/pdfs/15_bfrdp.pdf

 

NIFA will host a webinar to answer questions about the RFA on Wednesday, February 11th at 4:00pm EST. Here is the link to the webinar:  http://nifa-connect.nifa.usda.gov/bfrdp15rfa/

 

Additional resources, including an FAQ, is available on the NIFA website: http://www.nifa.usda.gov/funding/bfrdp/bfrdp.html

 

Sincerely,

 

Kaitlyn O’Connor
