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.
