ADM has partnered with the American Farmland Trust (AFT) to provide $500,000 in support to farmers in six Midwest states, including Illinois, to enhance resilience and succession planning. AFT will offer direct technical assistance, peer-to-peer learning, and small grants through the Brighter Future Fund. The partnership aims to address the demographic challenges facing farmers, with an estimated 300 million acres of farmland set to change hands in the next decade. AFT's expertise in farmland protection and estate planning will be crucial in guiding farmers through these transitions.
