This Week: Learn About New Agricultural Crops and Business Models
February 15, 2010
The University of Florida IFAS Extension and Team Santa Rosa will host the 2010 Gulf Coast Agribusiness Conference on Thursday, February 18, 2010, in Chumuckla.
Family farms are continually facing new challenges in today’s economy. To address these concerns, speakers from the Southeast region will provide our area farmers with ideas for new crops and business models. A trade show will be held at the conference, with space for vendor booths and equipment displays.
The target audience for this conference is producers of all types of crops in the Western Panhandle of Florida and Baldwin and Escambia Counties in Alabama. It will also serve as an informational seminar for prospective new farmers. Conference topics include “New Crops and Growing Methods,” “Estate Planning,” “Marketing Options: Most Successful Marketing Tools,” and “Greenhouse Demonstration”.

THOSE THAT ARE INTRESTED.
THERE IS A WEB SITE. FARM SUBSIDES, WHERE YOU CAN PUT IN THE COUNTY AND SEE HOW THE GOV. HELPS WITH CROPS.
SOME OF OUR AREA FARMERS, WELL NEIGHBORS ALREADY HAVE BEEN ON THESE PLANS FOR YEARS AND YEARS I AM SURE THEY WILL HELP ANYONE WHO WANTS TO PURSUE FARMING AS A TRADE.
YOU CAN ALSO SEE HOW MUCH IT COST TO FARM AND GET LOANS. IT’S INTERESTING.
