Final Checklist

The Final Checklist provides the date that the Initialization is due, and identifies any information that is missing in your Initialization. You must complete and submit your Initialization by the submission deadline.

Printing Your Initialization

Click on the “View Word” button on the navigation bar to print a Word version of your Initialization. You can also click on “View PDF” to generate a PDF version of your initialization.  You should print a copy of the Initialization for your records before you submit it. This gives you an opportunity to review how it will display for reviewers and will also give you a paper trail if there are any questions regarding your submission.

Submit Your Initialization

Until you submit your Initialization, you can save it and return to work on it as often as necessary. Upon submission, you will no longer be able to return to edit it. Once you have completed your Initialization, click “Submit” to finish the Initialization process.

When you submit your Initialization, you will receive an email confirmation. If you do not receive a confirmation email, contact the Beginning Farmer clearinghouse (also check your spam folder).
