Why are the courses so expensive? Do you offer any financial aid or scholarships?
These courses are a rare example of a farmer training program running solely on registration revenue, with no ongoing grant support. We operate the courses on the slimmest possible margin so that we can keep the fees as low as possible. Course alumni have reported that the value they received from the course was more than worth the price. In many cases, the course material has paid for itself in terms of mistakes avoided or innovations learned.
We do realize that not everyone is able to afford the price of our courses, so we offer a small number of scholarships each year. To apply, please read all the requirements and complete the application here.
