Coastal Newspaper Reports on Farmer Outlook Survey
The Knox County edition of Village Soup newspapers carried an article based on a UMaine news release about a recent survey of Maine farmers’ outlook for the future by the university’s Cooperative Extension. Extension water quality and soil specialist John Jemison and Stephanie Welcomer of the Maine Business School reported that farmers are generally optimistic about their futures, in spite of challenges, and said they would be better off if more consumers buy local produce.
