  • addition of a trucking business to the case
  • crisis management
  • food safety and labor training
  • hemp guest speakers
  • marketing focus
  • growing social media presence
  • mental health
  • precision ag

We are timing our session to coincide with the SE Regional Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association Conference, the Southern Farm Show and the Southeast Wildlife Exposition. Other program highlights include:

  • Cooking demonstration at Chef Darin’s Kitchen Table in Savannah (sponsored by Farm Credit)
  • Ag. development forum at NC State Fairgrounds
