Extension a partner in upcoming policy meetings, Fiddlehead Focus reports
Fiddlehead Focus reports the University of Maine Cooperative Extension is one of a number of organizations partnering to create an agriculture policy platform with input from farmers. The goal is to create a policy platform that will create farmer profitability and retention, and inform the next governor and the legislature about the needs of farmers for successful agriculture. The organizations are developing activities including town meeting-style gatherings and webinars, and would like input from farmers on scheduling, according to Fiddlehead Focus. Agricultural producers can provide input on preferred meeting times through a survey available until July 27. The County also posted the Extension announcement.
