On Oct. 21, agriculture thought leaders, policymakers, change agents, and seasoned farmers from around the U.S. will convene in Red Wing, Minn., for the Upper Midwest Farmland Summit to address land access issues and discuss innovative strategies and solutions to help farmers successfully transition their farms both within and outside the family.

The Upper Midwest Farmland Summit is presented by the Farmland Access Hub, which is an initiative that assists beginning farmers in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa in accessing farmland, securing land tenure, developing basic literacy about what they should consider and how to be prepared, and providing specialized knowledge, expertise and connections.
