Program helps struggling Minnesota farmers cope
Minnesota farm families have a new resource to help them cope with financial challenges.
The Minnesota Farmer Assistance Network provides financial guidance, technical assistance and mentoring to farm families facing economic hardship. Its toll-free help line at 1-877-898-MFAN connects farmers to experts such as farm business management instructors, extension educators and other financial analysts. It also helps farmers find legal guidance, tax advice and 24-hour crisis counseling.
Agriculture Commissioner Gene Hugoson describes the program as "a streamlined network designed to get farm families on the road to recovery."
