Issues Facing Beginning Farmers and Ranchers Lack of supplemental employment opportunities Difficulties transitioning farm from one generation to the next –Lack of qualified help in formulating exit strategies –Unwilling to give up managerial responsibility and unwilling to transfer ownership of assets.

Income Opportunities Slow food/local food movements are opening options and alternatives for beginning farmers and ranchers. Farmer’s markets are providing new outlets and the opportunity to sell a story Food safety concerns Internet opening many new avenues Alternative production and crops - insurance - risk

Final Thoughts There are some significant issues facing beginning farmers and ranchers over the next few years. Some of these are structural and some are related to the current situation Beginning farmers and ranchers face a different situation than in the past but this adds a lot of options. Credit will be helpful but it will not guarantee success. The beginning farmer and rancher will have to work based on their goals and the resources available.
