1. Brandon Raby, pictured with his son, Jack, grew his Skate Shop in North Platte, NE, with our small busi-ness financing. Since 1990, we’ve lent $7 million to help start or grow small businesses.

2. Maria Davila’s training from our small business program helped sharpen her tax preparation busi-ness serving the Hispanic community. This year, over 2,000 rural entrepreneurs received loans or training. Our clientele includes 25% Latino and 66% women and low to moderate-income entrepreneurs.

3. Our work with new immigrants in South Sioux City, NE is building com-munity through community garden-ing and a new farmers market.

You Cared for the Land

2. This year, 100 landown-ers and beginning farmers signed up to be matched through Land Link. The Hain family, pictured left, hopes to find a farm where they can raise grass-fed meat and cage-free eggs. They are a part of the Cen-ter’s Land Link program.

1 “It was a lot of fun taking on big corporate agriculture — and winning.”

—Tom Brown, Hershey, NE.

1. Matt, an Iraqi war vet-eran, and his family dream of farming. Your support helped win the Beginning Farmer & Rancher Devel-opment Act, to help Matt one day own a farm and produce pastured meats.

Tom Brown, pictured right, started farming in 1940 and is still going strong. He won our Seventh Generation Award because of his work to improve rural life and protect our land and water.
