YBSF RESOURCES: CULTIVATEGROWTH GRANTS: FUNDS TO NETWORK AND GROW

For new farmers, navigating the nuances of starting a business from the ground up is challenging enoughespecially when it comes to managing the financials and filing taxes correctly. For Ashley and Jordan Stair, proud owners of the newly established Timber Valley Bison, managing their business’ tax returns were made simple with the help of GreenStone’s CultivateGrowth Grant.

As a qualifying beginning farmer, Ashley turned to the grant to use for her first-time use of GreenStone’s tax and accounting services to help offset the cost. This allowed the Stair family to get the expert help necessary from GreenStone’s team of agriculture tax accountants. They worked with a local accountant who answered their questions and simplified the tax process so Ashley and Jordan could file their taxes correctly for both the current year and years to come.

New farmers, like Ashley and Jordan, are extremely important to agriculture’s vibrant future and GreenStone strives to support them in their new journey! GreenStone’s CultivateGrowth Grant provides up to $40,000 to help offset the cost of these services and educational programming for young, beginning and small farmers. GreenStone customers are eligible for up to $1,000. Non-customers are eligible for up to $500.
