I attended a workshop given by the USDA. It seems they have loans available for little or no money down. To me, it seemed like a very good program. Try this website for more info. http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/

Try your local FFA program at the nearest High school or nearest rural high school, this would be a great start.

Most farmers here hire help from Mexico or Jamaica for the summer. We also pay minimum wage (at least!!!) which is what DOUBLE that of the USA and provide housing while you are here.\n\nThere are advertisements in Mexico for such workers as I understand it. I live in a farming community and we welcome with open arms the hard working labour force that lives here from May to September!!! :)\n\nYour best bet may be to check out http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/Search_en.asp?ProvId=06&Student=false\n\nOh and as a human I feel the need to apologize to you, another human for the behaviour and uneducated, ignorant comments by the other posters. Is it the American thought process or just a total disregard for human beings??? \n\nPROUD TO BE CANADIAN!!!

If there's very little industry in an area, more than likely the area will be rural farmland.  And farming is usually not profitable, so hiring work is out of the question.  The cheapest solution then is having a large family to do all the farm work, gaining profits on farming and losing nothing on managing the farm.

There are many government grants published on a regular basis for just this very kind of thing. You need to find someone experienced in searching for them and writing grant proposals to donate their time and efforts to your cause.\n\nIn the meantime, talk to the county you're in about programs they have.  Write letters to large corporations like Wal-Mart and other industries in neighboring areas.  They usually have budgets set aside for community activism.

Yeah there are college courses for that.  They're called Agricultural Science and I know a lot of people that have done it in college and have gone on to do farming.  Most people that are interested in it come from a farming background already, but they're all happy with their jobs and as everyone knows farmers are loaded.

You should also try you county government. They don't do a lot of advertising, but they do offer development programs. the USDA (Yes, the United States Dairy Association) offer aid for people willing to move to low population areas.\n\nI would be curious to know why you are looking for a grant aside from the obvious.
