More Funding to Support Farmers’ Efforts to Expand, Diversify, or Transition Farm Ownership

Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding announced Pennsylvania has doubled the amount available to Pennsylvania farmers to support strategic business planning through Pennsylvania Farm Vitality Grants.

The grants reimburse farmers for 75% of the costs of business planning to expand, diversify, or transition farm ownership. The amount available per applicant increased from $7,500 to $15,000 on May 17.

“Farm Vitality Grants are helping farmers across Pennsylvania get the market analysis, financial planning, risk management, and other expertise they need to realize their vision for their farm’s future, whether that’s expanding their operations or protecting their family’s farming legacy,” Secretary Redding said.

You don't need to grow up on a farm to build a career in Canadian agriculture. Robyn grew up in Richmond, Ontario - not on a farm, but in a community shaped by them.

Now she works at the intersection of policy, innovation, and the people who grow our food. Her drive? Making sure the right people understand what Canadian agriculture needs to thrive.

Her message to the next generation: "Agriculture today is full of possibilities - science, technology, business, communications, and policy. You're helping grow the food we eat, and it's hard to think of many things more impactful than that."
