If it takes a village to raise a successful farmer, why do BFR training programs often try to do it all themselves?  This session will examine how creating, leveraging, and nurturing effective collaboration among BFR training programs brings exponential benefits to BFR trainees.  Panelists will describe how partnering increases BFR exposure to different types and scales of farm businesses, subject matter training expertise, USDA resources, and helps each BFR build their own network of suppliers, advisers, and markets.
