SUMMARY:PA’s Beginning Farmer Tax Credit Program

This event will be part info session and part listening session—tune in to learn more about this opportunity and weigh in on possible areas for improvement. \nNotes\nRecordings will be provided to registrants within one to two weeks of the live event.\nQuestions?
