Penn State Extension is hosting a new three-part webinar series for new and beginning farmers on How To Find, Lease  and Purchase Land starting March 29.

Accessing land is a common barrier for new and beginning farmers.  This series, based on a curriculum from the American Farmland Trust will help farmers overcome these carriers.

The webinars will be held March 29, April 1 and 8 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. each day.

Open discussion will be available for participants each night after formal presentations with the last evening solely featuring special panel discussions from statewide and regional agricultural accountants, farmland preservation directors, lenders, realtors, new and beginning farmers and more.

This webinar series is being held in part of a USDA BFRDP grant titled Land Access and Saving for Long-Term Assets: Combining Two Approaches to Addressing a Common Barrier for New and Beginning Farmers and Ranchers.
