Farmers turn to vacation rentals for extra income as new grants launch

Airbnb and American Farmland Trust announce new grants to help farmers earn extra income through farm stays as operating costs rise.

As farmers across the country face rising costs, some are opening their properties to vacationers for extra income. FOX's Olivianna Calmes visits a horse ranch in Pacific, Missouri, where the owner says her existing short-term rental has helped keep her business going. Now, Airbnb and American Farmland Trust are launching a new program offering grants of up to $10,000 to help more farmers start or expand farm stays and agricultural experiences.
