Farmer Resources
Farming challenges a person to build their skills in art, science, technology, commerce, communication, planning and more. For assistance on how to find, start, expand and diversify your farm, and to learn more about transferring and selling your farm to keep it in agriculture use, please contact the Division of Agricultural Resource Development at (207) 287-3491.
