A new effort to link farmers who have land with those that want to farm is making connections in West Michigan.

Economic Development Coordinator for Ottawa Becky Huttenga tells Brownfield a USDA grant is backing the MI Farm Link Program which she hopes expands across the state.

“One of our goals is to start and incentivize getting that succession planning going,” she shares.

MI Farm Link is offering free consultations for succession planning and is hosting a conference in November to get farmers motivated about the transition process.
