Heartland Sustainable Agriculture Project
The Kansas Rural Center has organized networks of farmer-to-farmer clusters to promote sustainable farming practices and value-added markets. These clusters have used on-farm trials, workshops, field trips, pasture walks, whole farm planning, feasibility studies, market research and business planning to explore change. Master farmers mentor other farmers through a shared learning journey to transfer management skills and wisdom to the next generation of farmers. The clusters listed below have received technical and financial support from the Kansas Rural Center. If you are interested in more information on the Heartland Network, please contact Mary Fund, ksrc@rainbowtel.net or 785-873-3431 Individual Heartland clusters and contacts are listed below.
