Successful Farm Startup for Beginners: Virginia Beginning Farmer and Rancher Coalition Program | Starting a farm is an exciting yet challenging opportunity.
As with any new undertaking, there is a lot to
think about before beginning a farm venture. Gaining
access to farmland, viable markets, capital and credit,
as well as hands-on training and resources are some of
the most important startup issues to consider as part of
the planning process.
You are likely asking yourself, “Where do I begin?”
The purpose of this resource is to help newcomers make
informed decisions at the start of the planning process.
This “quick guide” is primarily designed for beginning
farmers and ranchers, but service providers will also
find this resource useful for answering questions about
the farm startup process. This foundational work offers
a valuable starting point on which to create a successful
whole farm plan for a new agricultural venture. |

Results from 2016 research survey on consumption of local produce in Virginia | There appears to be a lack of published research study data on consumer motivations for purchasing local produce in Virginia. Additionally, the level of consumer awareness of labels such as “local,” “pesticide-free,” “certified organic,” “grown in Virginia,” or “superfood,” and the influence such labels have on purchasing decisions in Virginia has not been previously researched. |

Vineyard Financial Calculator | The Vineyard Financial Calculator is an educational tool that is useful for comparing the financial performance of different vineyard operational scenarios. This tool's intended user is an individual or organization exploring the financial requirements of vineyard establishment and operation in Virginia. The tool was designed to forecast the approximate pretax annual cash inflows and outflows of a vineyard − information required to build a business prospectus. Users can modify certain input variables, such as vineyard size and labor costs, as well as outputs, such as crop level, to tailor the projections to personal expectations. The VFC is only a predictive tool; actual results could vary from those predicted due to site conditions, variances in costs, or unanticipated gains or losses. |

Sensor-Based, Variable-Rate Nitrogen Applications in Virginia | Variable-rate applications (VRA) of nitrogen (N) fertilizers
are a new option to assist producers with real-time
fertilizer rate decisions. Two commercially available
systems that allow variable-rate nitrogen applications
are GreenSeeker (Trimble Navigation Limited; www.
ntechindustries.com/greenseeker-home.html) and the
OptRx Crop Sensor (Ag Leader Technology; www.
agleader.com/products/directcommand/optrx/). A discussion
of the science behind these systems, potential
economic benefits, and other methodologies to make
VRA is discussed in Virginia Cooperative Extension
publication 442-505, “Precision Farming Tools: Variable-
Rate Application” (Grisso et al. 2011). |

Direct Sales: Certifying Market Scales | Virginia farmers sell their produce through many venues including on-farm sales, farm stands, and farmers’ markets. Wherever the produce is sold, it must be sold by weight, count, head/bunch, or dry measure. If the produce is sold by weight, the produce will be weighed on scales that have been certified by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Office of Weights and Measures. |

A Decision-Making Tool to Determine the Feasibility of Purchasing Virginia Milk Commission Base | Dairy farmers are usually subject to net income fluctuations
due to volatility in both milk and feed prices.
Risk management tools, such as hedging milk prices in
the futures market, may be used to protect dairy farmers
against milk price volatility. Alternatively, dairy
farmers selling milk in Virginia can buy Virginia milk
commission base (MCB) to obtain higher milk prices
and, therefore, sustain or increase net cash flows. |
