viticulture; 5) Provide mentorship of BFRs following training programs to provide ongoing guidance and support for overall BFR business success; 6) Integrate USDA agricultural assistance programs into all BFR programs; and 7) Target socially disadvantaged and limited resource farmers and ranchers; and evaluate overall BFR program.
