Please join the Capital Area Agriculture and Horticulture Team for a farmer discussion group near you. 2022 is shaping up to be a record price year for farm input costs, leading to significant cost of production increases on farms.

In these discussion groups, CCE educators will provide recommendations for managing in these difficult times, including dealing with the cost of production, purchasing analysis and input management for growing crops, as well as best management practices for livestock production and creative marketing.

The information and material for each location is the same - choose the location that is most convenient for you. Access via Zoom available for all meetings.

All meetings are free of charge, with lunch provided. All meetings run from 12:00 noon until 3:00 PM.

Current CDC COVID-19 precautions will be observed. 

Masks are required, regardless of vaccination status, when a 6-foot distance cannot be maintained.
