Jonathan and Jessica Greer of Eden's Blessing Farm cover one of the five priorities of OEFFA's 2023 Farm Bill Platform: provide more support for beginning and BIPOC farmers.
OEFFA has worked to address land access for beginning farmers at the state level, often hearing more needs to be done to make it easier for people to enter farming, including disadvantaged farmers and farmers seeking to transition to organic production.
When it comes to farm credit issues, we heard “bankers don’t like new ideas.” We need to increase access to credit and support for beginning and underserved producers, including those not fitting the corn and soybean biculture mold. Farmers growing food to feed people and using ecological practices should be prioritized for support.
