  6. 8.6: Rural Development

    Release Date: 07-13-2011Open Date: 07-13-2011Due Date: 09-01-2011Close Date: 09-01-2011

    During the last 30 years, dramatic social, economic and technological changes have occurred in many rural areas in the United States.  Although farming continues to be an important source of income, most of rural America is moving from an agrarian to post-agrarian economy.  The results of this transformation have been uneven across the rural landscape.  Some communities are facing economic decline and rural exodus, while in other communities, especially those in areas near large urban centers or rich in natural amenities, economic and population growth have accelerated.

  9. 8.12: Small and Mid-Size Farms

    Release Date: 07-13-2011Open Date: 07-13-2011Due Date: 09-01-2011Close Date: 09-01-2011

    The Small and Mid-Size Farms topic area aims to promote and improve the sustainability and profitability of small and mid-size farms and ranches (where annual sales of agricultural products are less than $250,000 for small farms and $500,000 for mid-size farms - hereafter referred to as small farms). The vast majority of farms in this country are small and they play an important role in the agricultural sector. The viability and sustainability of small farms is important to the Nation’s economy and to the stewardship of our biological and natural resources.
