Project Overview
This project addresses agricultural production and limited access to markets, both risk areas experienced by Hmong farmers. A Bi-lingual Project Manager will facilitate access to agricultural education using one-to-one training, modeling successful Hmong growers and their produce, visiting farms to model new growing and season extending techniques. Agricultural resource providers, such as River Country Resource Conservation & Development and University of Wisconsin-Extension, and Farm Service Agency will provide models and training content. Participants are twenty-five (25) identified Hmong farmers who live in the Eau Claire region of Western Wisconsin. Hmong farmers will learn how to access available resources. Twenty (20)Hmong farmers will attend one-to-one sessions. Of the 25, 20 will use an effective production method and/or demonstrate use of a new marketing method. Currently, many of the Hmong do not understand the technical information they receive from agricultural resource providers and many do not read or write Hmong or English.
Number of Participants: 22
