Welcome
eXtension is an interactive learning environment delivering the best, most researched knowledge from the smartest land-grant university minds across America.
Description: The UVM Extension New Farmer Project presents Kathy Ruhf, co-director of the non-profit Land for Good, and Ben Waterman, coordinator of the Land Access program for the UVM Center for Sustainable Agriculture, to go over some basic concepts about holding farmland. Look at options (owning versus leasing) and variations on these tenure options. The presenters will touch on kinds of leases and landlords, affordability (land and housing), and financial readiness. They will also cover how to search for farm property and hints for negotiating successful transactions. To participate in the webinar, go to http://tinyurl.com/UVMEXT-LandAccessPart1 about 15 minutes before the start of the presentation on March 9, 2011. While some of the information in this webinar will be specific to New England, most of the concepts will apply to new farmers regardless of their geographic location.
