Farmers Find Help Through Assistance Network

http://www.mda.state.mn.us The Minnesota Farmer Assistance Network (MFAN) is a new partnership of organizations launched by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) in response to the struggling economy, and which addresses the needs of farmers facing financial challenges. The primary purpose of the MFAN Program is to provide business and financial guidance, and in addition, to serve as a referral for legal services, basic needs, and mental health counseling.

While there are many resources available to help farm families in difficulty, it can sometimes be hard to recall and access the full list of options in times of need. MFAN serves as an avenue through which families can access services designed to help them with tough financial situations. This is accomplished via volunteer financial analysts, who are working in collaboration with farm business management instructors and extension educators, among others. This volunteer-provided business and financial guidance is available at no cost, and can take many forms, such as help with financial statement preparation, debt restructuring, business reorganization, and farm transition.

The network telephone line will be staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call toll free 1-877-898-6326. For more information go to http://www.mda.state.mn.us/mfan
