What happened
American Farmland Trust and Airbnb launched a 'Farm to Stay' grant program to help farmers facing financial difficulties. The initiative allows qualifying for-profit farms to apply for up to $10,000. The program encourages farmers to utilize their property for tourism to generate additional income beyond traditional agriculture.
