Hosted by the UArizona Cooperative Extension's Urban Agriculture Production, Small-Scale, and Beginning Farmer Program, the Service Incubator is a bi-monthly meeting with representatives from USDA-NRCS, FSA, and urban, small-scale and beginner farmers.
Service Incubator meetings open up opportunities to discuss USDA programs and services, the unique needs of each community, and offer opportunity for direct technical assistance.
May's event will feature a talk and technical assistance by FSA Farm Loan Chief Fred San Nicolas on the FSA Microloan diving into the application process, different parts of the microloan, what it can be used for, how many applicants are selected and what to expect around the timeline and reapplying if not selected in the first round.
