What is Cultivate?
The Ag Credit Cultivate Program is designed to help cultivate tomorrow's leaders. This program is designed to assist young, beginning, or small farmers in learning different ways to take their operations to the next level. The meetings will enhance attendees' knowledge of ag financing, marketing, production, and more, while providing an opportunity to network with peers from across Ag Credits' 17-county territory.
The program will consist of six weekly meetings, each discussing various topics related to agricultural production.
