In our conversations with many beginning farmers who want to move from leasing land to buying land, we’ve found that the actual process of finding and buying rural farmland is far more complex than many people realize, especially if they've grown up in a city or suburb.
So we’ve organized a land access webinar for the evening of September 9th (Thursday) that we hope will help beginning farmers go about the rural land purchase process in an efficient, wise way. The three experienced speakers – a realtor, a lending specialist for farmers and farmland, and an appraiser - will cover everything from a good search strategy and how to find the right realtor to understand the purchase process, assessing the total property package (including septic fields and wells), financing, hidden costs, appraisals, and even adjusting to rural life. There will also be many opportunities for you to ask questions of the speakers.
Two hours isn’t enough time to cover literally everything, of course, but you’ll come away with a much better framework for how everything fits together than you had to go into it.
Please share news of this event with folks you know who might be interested. In addition to the attached flyer, you can also go directly to the registration page for more information - https://libertyprairiefoundation.salsalabs.org/BuyingRuralFarmland101/index.html
