Minnesota FarmLink began 15 years ago with a spreadsheet and an idea. The program is now a legislatively funded tool to connect farmers for employment and land availability. Minnesota Department of Agriculture Livestock Specialist Jim Ostlie says this program has grown since its inception and is available to anyone. “The web application is self-serviceable. The public can view all the listings without private contact information. You’re not getting any cold calls and you have the opportunity to review the information before someone contacts you.” Land access has become a challenge and this tool can help navigate the process of finding farm land, employees, or employment.
