Northeast Farm Credit associations and CoBank award $28,000 in grants

The Northeast Farm Credit associations and CoBank recently awarded a total of $28,000 to 14 organizations as part of the Farm Credit Northeast AgEnhancement Program.  The grants help recipients carry out programs that promote Northeast agriculture, support youth programs, and generate a greater understanding of the Northeast’s vital agricultural, commercial fishing, and forest products industries among the nonfarm public.

Since its inception in 1996, the Farm Credit Northeast AgEnhancement Program has awarded more than $883,056 to 312 grant recipients.

The program is a shared effort of First Pioneer Farm Credit, Farm Credit of Western New York, Yankee Farm Credit, Farm Credit of Maine, and CoBank. Individual awards range from $1,000 to $5,000 and are granted on three different occasions annually. Download press_release_agenhancement_january_08.doc
