The project is connected to other Farm Wrap activities involving Northland Community College, NW Disaster Response Network, Rural Life Outreach, NW Mental Health, Minnesota Workforce Center, Minnesota First Call, Social Services in several counties, area clergy and lenders. Due to current crisis factors, adjustments in the ag sector are inevitable. One way to help farm families adapt to current conditions and possibly stay in this region is through education. In these visits options may be discussed regarding technical assistance needed by the family to assist in changing of their situation. If the family is not eligible for other types of assistance, Project Farm Wrap may also be able to provide some financial assistance for attorney fees and accountants.
Mentors help students navigate the red tape to register and enroll.
Academic assistance is available to help improve study skills. Technology includes a laptop computer to make learning interesting. Seminars are available to help create a next-century vision for the Valley. Our Goal is to sustain the population of our communities by the enhancing of life's opportunities. An important part of Project Farm Wrap is continuing conversation about the future of the Red River Valley.
