THE LAND — OCTOBER 5/OCTOBER 12, 2018 CANDIDATES, from pg. 10 Iowans that want to become farmers are still forced to overcome numerous hurdles. They face high land prices, an aging farm population, and lack of incentives to enter the profession. It’s vital to keep Iowa’s agricultural economy strong, and in doing so we must provide first-time farmers with the resources and support they need to be successful. As governor, I’ll work with our state legislature to continue to support and promote efforts of the Iowa Beginning Farmer Center, help reduce student loan debt for college graduates who enter farming, and further fund the Beginning Farmer Loan Program — which created a wait list of applicants due to a legislative sunset.
