Are you interested in learning how climate change will affect local farms? Dr. Vern Grubinger of the University of Vermont Extension will be speaking on this topic at the Cheshire County Conservation District's 2008 annual meeting in Keene. Grubinger is the director of the USDA's Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education program and the Vegetable and Berry Specialist for UVM Extension. The community is invited to join the Conservation District in exploring how changes in climate may cause changes on the farm and what is being done to prepare for climate changes.
After the presentation, the Conservation District will celebrate the success of 2008 and present the Cooperator of the Year award to Siegfried Richter of Spofford.
