A new program is taking root in Indiana’s farming community. Farm Advisors is a farmer-to-farmer mentoring initiative aimed at strengthening Indiana agriculture through shared experience and practical knowledge.
“It was actually started by farmers. Farmers that were interested in conservation and sharing how conservation has worked on their farm and so they’re looking for other peers, other people that want to learn about conservation and implementing that,” says Hannah Vorsilak of Indiana Corn and Soy who is promoting the program that pairs seasoned growers with beginning or transitioning farmers, offering one-on-one guidance on everything from crop management to business planning.
“This is really like peer-to-peer mentorship.” she added.
Organizers say it’s about more than just advice—it’s building relationships and resilience across generations of Hoosier farmers.
