Local farms are a valuable community asset and programs have been developed at every level of government to support your farm. Understanding and accessing these programs however, can be a full-time job and keeping them all straight is no easy task. While agricultural professionals from the Conservation District or Natural Resource Conservation Service can help you navigate many grants, they can’t know all the details of all the programs out there. There are just too many and they change too frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But these programs can be critical for funding farm improvements, planning, and conservation actions. So WSU and Thurston Conservation District partnered to build a tool that will put all the assistance programs into one place. Landwise South Sound<\/a> organizes and lists assistance programs for farmers, allowing window shopping and providing contacts for further inquiry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
