UMaine Extension cited in BDN article on federal farm assistance programs
The University of Maine Cooperative Extension was mentioned in a Bangor Daily News article about the expanding options of federal farm assistance programs. United States Department of Agriculture policy changes over the last couple of years have allowed agencies to better help a wider range of farmers and farming operations — including those in Maine, according to the article. Information on federal farm programs is available through the Farm Service Agency’s Maine office website, and other resources can be found through the UMaine Extension’s Beginning Farmer Resource Network, the article states.
