Initially, you will discuss with an advisor by phone, the various options available in your particular situation. For the initial phase, you will be entitled to five days worth of consulting valued at $2,500 with a financial consultant chosen by you, for the price of $100 out of your pocket. The next phase would be Business Planning Services, which are specialized consulting services (succession planning, expansion plans, marketing and diversification). For these services the government will provide matching dollars to a maximum of $8,000 per farmer. For more information, you may call 1-866-452-5558.
