Market Timing: Season Extension
Feb

2017
Thu 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Topic: Marketing and Sales
As the demand for local produce continues to grow, buyers are looking to purchase product earlier and later in the growing season. To take advantage of this market opportunity, join us for strategies on season extension techniques and the costs/benefits of high tunnel production. Sponsored by the Mitchell County Cooperative Extension and the Mayland Small Business Center, this class will equip "agripreneurs" and farm businesses with information about the market potential of emerging crops. This class is scheduled just in time to plan for 2017 crop selection.
Speaker(s): Richard Boylan
Co-Sponsor(s): Mitchell Cooperative Extension
