The Henderstead farm, owned by Josh and Lauren Henderson and located in Rutheford County, has received a $10,000 grant from WNC AgOptions for a Mobile Sheep Handling System.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This year\u2019s grant awards will support projects that improve farm efficiency, enabling growth and increasing income, which support the longevity of their farm businesses. Over half of the awarded recipients will invest in equipment and processes that will significantly improve the sustainability of their farm businesses by delivering efficiencies that directly affect their bottom line. Most recipients also produce food that is purchased in the communities where they farm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
