The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Beginning Farmer and Rancher (BFR) Team will host a free webinar on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, aimed at supporting those who have been operating a farm or ranch for fewer than 10 years.
Titled “Building Your Bench,” the session will run from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. Eastern and will provide an overview of USDA resources, technical assistance, and programs designed specifically for new and aspiring agricultural producers.
Participants will learn how to establish a strong support network, access federal programs, and take the next steps in developing a sustainable farming or ranching operation.
Registration is free and open to all eligible beginning farmers and ranchers.
