Is Growing Grains Economically Feasible for Your Farm?
Bangor Motor Inn
4:00pm – 6:00pm
The demand for local grains continues to grow. Maine bakers are looking for local flour, but only a fraction of what local mills are processing is grown in Maine. Not to mention the growing need for local sources of livestock feed. But is growing grains profitable for Maine farmers?
Join us on Thursday, April 2, from 4:00- 6:00pm at the Bangor Motor Inn to hear from a panel of experienced Maine farmers who are growing grains. You will have an opportunity to ask questions and get answers. This workshop is free and open to the public.
Guest panelists will include:
Mark Fulford, Teltane Farm, Monroe
Jim Gerritsen, Wood Prairie Farm, Bridgewater
Fred Sherburne, W.R. Sherburne & Sons, Dexter
Garin Smith, Grassland Farm, Skowhegan
This workshop is made possible by a generous grant through a component fund at the Maine Community Foundation. Sponsored by Heart of Maine RC&D and the Bakers, Artisans & Growers Cooperative.
