Channel: Stories of Southern Oregon
Date: 2019-05-09

Agricultural skills and traditions have typically been passed down through the generations but what happens when there's no generation that follows? If there's no farming in your family, how do you know if you're strong and determined and flexible enough to farm? The Rogue Farm Corps trains new farmers with a comprehensive hands on curriculum, matches experienced farmers with new farmers and helps with farm succession planning. Stu O'Neill is Rogue Farm Corps executive director and Megan Fehrman works in Education. Learn the real dirt.
