General farming (3 years+) - Managing a hemp farm in its infancy years, small scale farming for food.
Do you have a business plan?
No - We are in the midst of building a business plan, but so far haven’t needed one. We have been lucky enough to rent an acreage where the land owner understood and believed in our passion for growing hemp. Unfortunately, we are now in need of land to continue our vision.
Do you have financial resources available to start your farm?
Yes - We are self sufficient in capital and are able to finance ourselves.
Do you have access to other financial resources (such as a financial partner, loan, etc.) to start your farm?'
No

Preferred current state of the surface of the cultivable area
We would prefer ALR farmland that has been worked over the years and is either fallow or the desire to not farm it anymore where we could take over and continue to cultivate the land.
Pastureland, hay fields, wheat, etc, we would love to see all the options. As long as the farm isn’t in total disarray, we should be able to make it work.

Yes - We don’t mind either way.
Need farm buildings
Yes - A hay barn, and some extra storage buildings would be nice.

If there is municipal water that would be best. Otherwise we would need to see the GPM rating on the well/s and cisterns on site.
