Project Overview

The Training Sessions for Native American Producers – North Central Region Project addressed Production Risks, Financial Risks, and Human Risks through provision of direct outreach and education to farmers, ranchers and the landowners of agricultural land living in reservation communities in the North Central Region. ILTF hosted fourteen workshops for Native Americans, with 245 producers/landowners served over the term of the project.

As a result of the workshops, 245 producers/landowners are better positioned to understand the risks and analyze and develop appropriate options around: 1) the Buy-Back Program for Tribal Nations, the federal program through which landowners can sell their ownership interests in reservation land to the tribe or purchase interests sold by co-owners (Financial), 2) carbon sequestration, the USDA CRP and other conservation programs (Financial), 3) the American Indian Probate Reform Act (AIPRA) and its impact on estate planning (Human), and 4) buffalo ranching as an alternative production enterprise (Production).
