22282 dollars - is dedicated to supply and material costs associated with running our educational farms including livestock purchase livestock feed seed and plant costs irrigation supplies etc Smaller cost categories include vehicle expenses at 1752 dollars office expenses at 1006 dollars legal fees at 25 dollars and insurance at 243 dollars There is also a total of 3281 dollars of other revenue - in some cases we split livestock feed orders with other individuals to order in bulk but the non-profit covered the full cost of purchase initially This money represents repayments from other farmers for their portion of the cost Part II, line 26 In 2024 the Executive Director Amy Scanes-Wolfe made a zero interest loan of 26000 dollars to the non-profit to cover funding gaps while we waited for pledged funding to come in In 2025 we received the pledged funding and repaid the 26000 with zero interest so there are currently no liabilities
