The California Farmlink organization will receive $749,425 through September 2021 to August 2024 from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program.

California Farmlink will provide business education, technical assistance, and a professional referral network to at least 650 beginning farmers and ranchers. The goal is to improve profitability and generate net worth through coaching farmers to develop long-term business plans focused on asset acquisition and debt reduction. California Farmlink will expand upon previous successful programming for established specialty market farmers to serve new business models prevalent in California's diverse beginning farmer and rancher sector. Priority will be given to the growing Latino agricultural demographic.
