DES MOINES - The Iowa Agricultural Development Division of the Iowa Finance Authority will be hosting free regional workshops statewide to increase the awareness of Iowa's Beginning Farmer Loan and tax credit programs.

The presentations will highlight the benefits of the Iowa Agricultural Development Division's programs. Participants will learn about assistance available for beginning farmers to purchase agricultural land, depreciable machinery or equipment, breeding livestock or buildings, or to improve existing farmland and buildings. There are also programs to give farmers or landowners an Iowa tax credit if they lease their land or custom hire beginning farmers.

Agricultural service providers, CPAs, Ag Attorneys, Ag Lenders, Farm Managers and other professionals connected to the agricultural industry are encouraged to attend. Registration for each event is available at IowaFinanceAuthority.gov/IADD or by calling 800-432-7230.
