Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
The Western Extension Risk Management Education Center will lead and collaborate with its Extension Risk Management Education Centers (ERME) partners to establish a Technical Assistance Provider Network (TAPN) pilot project with targeted delivery in the Western and Southern regions to help underserved producers succeed in using the USDA FSA Farm Loan Program (FLP).
Racial minority underserved producers face additional risk factors that impact their farm/ranch profitability and threaten the economic viability of their farming operations. The FLP experiences a high rate of incomplete or withdrawn applications, particularly among underserved customers.
We propose to apply ERME resources and leadership to develop and support the TAPN's capacity to address local issues relevant to supporting producers in accessing FLP, connecting these producers to FSA farm programs, and helping them to participate in other USDA programs.
Developing the TAPN will improve FLP application performance metrics, including boosting producer confidence and skills necessary for successful use of FSA's tools, thereby improving underserved producers' economic viability.
