Claudene Wharton at the University Of Nevada At Reno’s Education & Public Service Department reports some aspiring small-scale Farmers will have the opportunity to serve a one-year Apprenticeship to bolster their abilities to start and run a small-scale operation, thanks to a new Nevada Farm Apprenticeship Program being offered by the University of Nevada.  The program will provide a $40,000 stipend to participants, based on an average of 32 program hours a week, and will be hosted at the University’s Desert Farming Initiative, which is part of the Experiment Station’s Valley Road Field Lab in Reno.  It is expected to be the first certified Farm Apprenticeship Program in Nevada, pending certification from the Nevada Department of Labor.
