The Bangor Daily News, Mainebiz and News Center Maine covered a ribbon cutting, joined by Gov. Janet Mills, leaders from the University of Maine and the Maine Potato Board, for a renovation to the Maine Agricultural and Forest Experiment Station’s 425-acre Aroostook Farm, the heart of UMaine’s agricultural research on potatoes.
