series that will help agricultural entrepreneurs successfully launch new
farms in New York State. Produced by the NY Beginning Farmer Project with

and the NY Farm Viability Institute, the video series, titled, ?/Voices of
Experience/,? covers essential topics such as financing farm start-up,
marketing, profitability, and goal setting, to name just a few. The ?voices
