Have you checked out this year’s Farm Credit Can

Have you checked out this year’s Farm Credit Canada (FCC) latest report on farmland values? ⁠
⁠
Farmland has been getting more and more expensive over the last decades, and is now nationally the least affordable it has been since 1983. Limited availability of farmland and high demand both contributed to a 9.3% increase in farmland values, and farm revenue has not risen to keep pace with these rising costs. These trends reflect a growing barrier for farmers – particularly new and young farmers. ⁠
⁠
Landholders, if you have extra space to share with a farmer, there’s no better time to make it available through the B.C. Land Matching Program. Reach out to bclmp@youngagrarians.org to discuss leasing your land or to explore land opportunities available for lease in B.C.⁠
⁠

Meet the Metanoia Farmers Workers Cooperative in W

Meet the Metanoia Farmers Workers Cooperative in Winnipeg, Manitoba! After 14 years of operating their co-operative farm in the middle of the city, they are reimagining the structure of their farm and inviting community to participate in a new way.⁠
⁠
"Metanoia applied for the Young Agrarians Business Mentorship Network because in our excitement to develop a volunteer based, community urban farm, we didn’t want to do it alone, and knew that there are many other people doing similar work to us that could act as invaluable resources in our journey."⁠
⁠
Head to our blog at the link in our bio to hear about how Metanoia started, what some of their goals for the future are, and how they want to involve community in their next steps.⁠
⁠
If you are a new farmer or the next generation taking on your family farm and are looking for support to grow your farm business, consider applying to the Business Mentorship Network. Learn more at our link in bio or at: https://youngagrarians.org/business-mentorship-network/⁠
