This book is for the aspiring farmer. The person who wants to own a farm but didn't inherit one and doesn't have millions of dollars to buy one outright. By the end, you'll have built two documents that open doors: your Farm Ownership Plan and your Farm Investment Pitch. Covers six farm ownership transition options (leasing, share farming, lease to buy, vendor finance, collaborative farming, and joint ventures), how to find and approach retiring farmers, how to pitch investors, and how to build the plan that gets you on the land. Book 1 of The Cultivate Series. Keeping farms in local hands.
