FarmAbility definition
FarmAbility means doing whatever it takes to support Leelanau farm families who are going strong, today, tomorrow and in the future. This cutting-edge program joins the goal of enhancing agricultural innovation with the goal of supporting farm families to continue farming in Leelanau. It is the first privately-run program of its kind in the U.S. and will offer non-governmental financial incentives to family farmers in return for signing a binding agreement to farm their lands for a 10-year period. These financial incentives include per-acre cash payments and cost-sharing for both workshops designed to enhance profitability and estate or tax planning to help po- sition the transfer of the farm to the next generation
