Starting and growing a successful farm takes more than passion—it takes strong financial understanding and the ability to clearly communicate your farm’s story. This session will equip young and beginning farmers with the essential tools to work effectively with agricultural lenders.

The 2026 MI Ag Ideas to Grow With conference will be held virtually, February 23 - March 5, 2026. The program encompasses many aspects of the agricultural industry and offers a full array of educational sessions for farmers and homeowners interested in food production and other agricultural endeavors. While there is no cost to participate, attendees must register to receive the necessary zoom links. Registrants can attend as many sessions as they would like and are also able to jump around between tracks. RUP and CCA credits may be offered for several of the sessions.
