North Carolina State University’s NC AgVentures Grant Program is celebrating another successful year in the books. The program underwent a massive expansion this past year largely due an increase in funding. With funding nearly doubling, NC AgVentures has been able to expand the number of counties, 18 to 46, that are now eligible to receive grants. The grants, which are designed to improve and expand farm operations in North Carolina, are funded by the N.C. Tobacco Trust Fund Commission. Through partnering with N.C. State’s Extension branch, the Commission has been able to distribute their resources to many deserving farmers across the state.
