The Michigan Farm Bureau has expanded its land linking platform statewide to help connect farmland owners with those seeking land for agricultural purposes. The online platform, which was previously available in limited areas, will now cover the entire state of Michigan and provide a centralized location for land seekers to connect with available farmland.
The platform aims to address the ongoing challenge of land access for new and beginning farmers, who may struggle to find affordable land or face other barriers to entry into the agricultural industry. By connecting landowners with potential renters or buyers, the platform could help to support the growth and development of the next generation of farmers in Michigan.
The Michigan Farm Bureau notes that the platform is designed to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide range of individuals and organizations, including farmers, land trusts, and local governments. The platform also includes resources and tools to help facilitate successful land matches and provide support throughout the land transfer process.
Overall, the Michigan Land Linking Site represents an important step forward in addressing land access challenges in the state and supporting the long-term sustainability of Michigan's agricultural sector.
