Georgia Farmers Market Promotion and Washington Soil Health Plan
From the Ag Information Network, this is your Agribusiness Update.
**AgGeorgia Farm Credit has designated $10,000 to help local farmers markets promote their markets in 2025, and the application period is now open.
AgGeorgia’s Corey Cottle tells www.morningagclips.com farm markets often have little to no funding for promotional efforts, and we’re proud to step in to assist in that regard.
AgGeorgia started the Farmers Market Grant Program in 2021 to provide relief to struggling markets during the height of COVID-19.

**As the American Farm Bureau Federation develops new policies or shapes existing ones on issues affecting farmers and ranchers, three California agricultural leaders lent their expertise to help guide discussion and give advice, information and recommendations.
The California Farm Bureau members did so by serving on
AFBF’s Issues Advisory Committees, which provide input to the AFBF board of directors, influencing potential policy positions and actions the organization may take.
**MyLand, a leading innovator in soil health, announced a new $4.8 million dollar opportunity in Washington State to enhance soil health for farmers.
The program, funded in combination by the Washington State Departments of Agriculture and Commerce, focuses on supporting sustainable agricultural practices and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
MyLand’s new program, aiming to cover 9,000 acres in
Washington, is supported with funding from Washington’s Climate Commitment Act.
