Lyons, Nebraska -The Center for Rural Affairs is offering a free summer series of Latino Beginning Farmer and Rancher tours in Nebraska City, Martell, Grand Island, and Lincoln, Nebraska. The first session will be held on Saturday, June 11, with the last session on Oct. 22, 2016.
"These tours are a great opportunity for people who are either interested in starting a small farm or who already have a farm, to learn from an existing farmer,” said Kirstin Bailey, project organizer, Center for Rural Affairs. “We will be seeing farms that have been in business for just a few years and hear from the owners about their operation. It is a chance to learn from expert presenters and network with other farmers and those interested in farming. We are excited about the different topics we have this year!"
Participants can pick and choose which farm tours work best for them to attend, based on their location. All tours will be presented or interpreted in Spanish.
Transportation to the tour sites will be provided. Participants can meet at Community Action, 210 O St, Lincoln, NE at 9 a.m for a ride.
