Texas Young Farmer Grant

Applications must be received by April 17, 2025.
The Texas Department of Agriculture administers the Young Farmer Grant program to provide financial assistance in the form of dollar-for-dollar matching grant funds to young agricultural producers that are engaged or will be engaged in creating or expanding an agricultural business in Texas. Grant applications will be accepted from any individual person 18 to 46 years of age as of the application deadline, who is engaged or will be engaged in creating or expanding agriculture in Texas. Applications that merely propose to sustain an existing agricultural business are not eligible for an award under this program. Grant awards range from $5,000 to $20,000 and may not be used for capital purchases.
