Accessing capital is one of the most important aspects of running an agricultural business. Whether you are launching a new ag business, seeking a source for ongoing operating expenses or recovering from a disaster, finding the right funding can make all the difference for a successful future.

Unfortunately, opportunities are hard to find, since funding lists become outdated and it can be difficult to know whether a particular option is the right fit for you. This Ag Funding Library is meant to simplify your search. We have pulled together grants, loans and relief payment programs available to farms, ranches and other agricultural businesses. This list is updated as opportunities become available or expire.

The Ag Funding Library is not exhaustive of all the possible funding options available to your operation, so we encourage folks to use this library as a starting point. You should also explore our Farm Financing Resource Guide or watch this “Financing Options for Your Food or Farm Business” webinar from University of Wisconsin Extension for additional ideas.

Please note that Farm Aid has not deeply vetted these opportunities and does not endorse any particular funding opportunity. Due diligence should be done prior to applying for funding. A financial advisor or business consultant can help you with this. If you would like support navigating these resources, contact the Farm Aid Hotline here or call 1-800-FARM-AID (1-800-327-6243).
