I am trying to start a program to educate and train people in the ag industry. As someone who has worked in the ag industry for over 15 years I have seen first hand the growing problem or rapid turnover. I am looking for a small swine farm or land with buildings suitable for a training program, as well as cropland, space for a community garden/ food bank, and a building or house to be used as a community resource and education center. I am also trying to secure hogs either on a payment plan or donationss. TBC's and low viability's are acceptable as I want to train people with animals in need of treatment, not just healthy stock. Can you help me? If not do you know of a possible source? Please help me to help others in need. Thank You!!!
