Results of several surveys over the past year about the pandemic's challenges for Maine farmers and agriculture service providers, and practices to help them recover, will be the topic of a July 21 panel discussion.
The surveys were done by nearly a dozen groups and government entities, including University of Maine Cooperative Extension; the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association; Maine Farmland Trust, three state departments; and others. Surveys topics ranged from general issues related to the pandemic and its impact, to infrastructure needs, to a deep dive on the financial hit those in the agriculture industry took.
"Farmers and ag service providers were very kind to complete these surveys and we thought they would be interested in learning about the responses from other farmers and service providers," said Donna Coffin, UMaine Extension professor.
Surveys to be discussed include:
Many of the surveys were shared throughout the Maine Farm News network, made of of dozens of agriculture stakeholder groups throughout Maine. Survey results will also be shared throughout the network.
Coffin said that representatives of the groups that administered the surveys will be on had to discuss the responses and panelists will answer questions from attendees.
Findings will be discussed by a panel representing the groups, from 1-3 p.m. Wednesday, July 21, via Zoom. Registration information is on the event webpage.
