The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) awarded a $576,000 Project Grant under the Outreach and Assistance for Socially Disadvantaged and Veteran Farmers and Ranchers program (CFDA 10.443) to the Northwest Agriculture Business Center, a non-profit organization. The grant will fund the delivery of a range of training, education, and technical assistance services over a 3-year period from September 2023 to September 2026. Key activities include introducing USDA programs, providing application training and support, offering farming business administrative and operational training, computer training, business plan development, land access and financial literacy education, and sales training. The funding will also support the Center's efforts to encourage and assist socially disadvantaged farmers, ranchers, rural businesses, and cooperatives in owning and operating farms, ranches, and participating in USDA programs.
