Calderwood webinar featured in Country Folks Grower
Country Folks Grower featured a webinar presentation led by Lily Calderwood, University of Maine Cooperative Extension wild blueberry specialist and assistant professor of horticulture, aimed at demystifying the process of finding farmworkers and applying for H-2A visa farmworkers. Calderwood advised farmers to start early, as the program has strict deadlines. Farmers must submit their applications at least 80 days before the start of work, preferably before May, to avoid visa delays that can hurt their harvest.
