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 the 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.

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