Young Producer Program & Finance Opportunities

Knowing where to begin as a young producer interested in starting their own farming operation can be a challenge. Hear directly from state USDA officials about programs available through FSA and NRCS for beginning farmers, as well as financing options from a banking perspective. Also joining the panel is a producer who has gone through the process himself, who will share his first hand experience.

Speakers:

• Darrel DuVall, State Outreach Coordinator, USDA-NRCS
• Gail L. Gullickson, Sr. Farm Load Officer, State Outreach & Communications Coordinator, Beginning Farmer & Rancher State Coordinator, SD Farm Service Agency
• Nathan D. Sparks, VP Load Production Officer, First Dakota Bank
• Matt Smith, Producer, Claas Regional Sales
