An updated version of “The Emergence of Retail Agriculture: Its Outlook, Capital Needs, and Role in Supporting Young, Beginning, and Small Farmers,” is now available on The Farm Credit Council’s Young, Beginning and Small Farmers and Ranchers page at fccouncil.com/ybs.
The paper, by Gary Matteson, Vice President–Young, Beginning, Small Farmer Programs and Outreach for The Farm Credit Council, and Alan R. Hunt, Owner and Principal of the consulting firm Local Food Strategies LLC, aims to bridge knowledge gaps on how young and beginning farm operators and small farm operators utilize newly emerging domestic marketing opportunities.
