NCA&T Small Farms Week 2009: March 24-25: Rides available from Boone & Scholarships for Small Farmers
NCA&T State University's Small Farms Week always includes a great mix of educational sessions and networking opportunities. This year, they have added a scholarship program that will support travel and lodging for farmers to attend two days of campus events. Four such scholarships have been reserved for farmers in the High Country region. Selected farmers will receive transportation from Boone to Greensboro, overnight lodging in a motel near campus, and tickets to the Small Farms Banquet and other planned SFW events. If you are interested in applying to be one of these farmers, please contact Richard Boylan at richard_boylan@ncsu.edu. Eligible candidates are farmers who take an active role in managing their operations, and whose gross farm sales are less than $100,000 per year.
