Land and business (lab) programs. There are three related land and business programs: equity and conservation on working lands (ecwl), resilience and wealth building (rwb) and business and innovation (b&i). In 2024, farmlink staff provided direct, individual technical assistance to 313 farmers and ranchers across these programs. Throughout its programming, farmlink employs the "client journey", a client-centric service philosophy to harness the organizational pillars of land, capital and education toward the overall goal of business stability, operational advancement, and overall risk management of the organization's growing outstanding loan portfolio.
