Financing Your Opportunity
Financing is an important part of getting started. In Minnesota, qualified beginning farmers may have access to financing through the Rural Finance Authority (RFA) Beginning Farmer Loan Program, which works with local lenders to help make financing more affordable.
RFA financing is an additional opportunity and is not required to participate in the CF program.
