Project Overview

The Ensuring More Farm Success in North Texas project's first year continues to build on the success of two previous years of educational programming for beginning farmers in North Texas. The project leveraged existing tools, knowledge, and resources to help new and beginning farmers start or improve farm operations resulting in profitable farms at whatever scale the farmer wants. Through a 9-month, seven-topic guided process that uses existing printed and online resources, 6 new and beginning farmers got to know each other, engaged in discussion and further learning on 7 different topics related to successful farming. Other new and beginning farmers will be able to attended in-person and virtual learning events that coincided with the cohort topics. The area targeted for this project includes a section of Texas in an approximate 100-120 mile radius from the Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) metropolitan area and served 120 farmers and ranchers.
