Limited Resource Self-Determination Tool

Background:

• The tool is only meant to help producers determine if they qualify as a Limited Resource Farmer, or Rancher or Forest Owner by providing the county value necessary to qualify.

• It is not intended as a certification or proof of limited resource status. 

• All applicants may be asked to provide tax or other records necessary to justify their claim.

• This information is not saved in any database or anywhere on the web site.

• Based on the information that you provide, your verification for eligibility to apply to participate in those USDA USDA programs with special provisions for eligibility as a limited resource farmer/rancher as determined from the use of this tool must be supported by your certification on the designated USDA USDA Program application form. You must complete and sign the limited farmer/rancher certification on the designated program application/contract form.
