Is Spring Here Yet?
Helping Farmers Learn, Grow, Live.
For twenty-one years, the Foundation for Agricultural and Rural Resources Management and Sustainability (FARRMS) has supported beginning farmers with educational programs, peer support networks, and financing. All programs are grounded in principles of sustainable agriculture with three primary goals: more new farmers on the land; more sustainable farming practices; and more locally grown, fresh, nutritious food available in North Dakota’s communities. 
Actionable Data.
In North Dakota, the most common reported uses of the Child Tax Credit (CTC) payments were for basic needs (food, utilities, rent) and savings or paying down debt. Among choices, food consistently ranked first in terms of spending. After food, reported spending over time shows that North Dakota households were more likely to spend CTC payments on school expenses and clothes around the start of school in August and early September, and on utilities and rent from September to the end of 2021.
Quiz Time.
In 2019, North Dakota ranked first among the 50 states for the percentage of adults working (80%). What percentage of women, age 16 to 64, were employed in 2019?
