Farm Profitability

The North Central Initiative for Small Farm Profitability is a four-state, multi-institutional, farm-to-fork effort designed to improve the profitability and competitiveness of small and mid-size farms in the Midwest. This initiative brings together a unique and powerful blend of farmers, food and social scientists, marketers, extension educators, economists, and others who are attempting to identify, adapt and apply practical, science-based, market-driven strategies that work.
