District 4 Halifax, Nash, Vance, Wilson, and Warren Counties Eligible $8,000 Farm Grants
$10,000 for Collaborative Group Projects
Deadline: Wednesday, December 4, 2013
The Rural Advancement Foundation International’s (RAFI) Tobacco Communities Reinvestment Fund announces 2014 grants for existing farm enterprises. If you are a North Carolina farmer earning at least 50% of your personal income from your farm operation you may be eligible to apply for a grant.
Priority will be given to projects that demonstrate a way to replace lost tobacco income. Competitive projects will explore innovative strategies in production, processing or marketing for the agricultural marketplace.
Contact Joe Schroeder, RAFI, at (919) 542-1396 or joe@rafiusa.org for assistance with the grant and more information.
