Description: The UVM Extension New Farmer Project presents Kathy Ruhf and Ben Waterman for the second part of the Land Access webinar series. They will talk through the many variables that should be considered when assessing farms, land, and farm infrastructure for rental or purchase. Learn about the more important land use regulations and state programs, such as the Current Use Program, that will effect your tenure situation as a beginning farmer. Finally, you'll be introduced to existing programs and services in Vermont that can assist you with developing farm tenure arrangements and support you while you establish your farm enterprises once you've settled. While some of the information in this webinar will be specific to Vermont, most of the concepts presented will apply to all farmland seekers, regardless of their geographic location.
