Our Keynote speaker, Dr. Bridget Behe, Professor and Extension Specialist in Marketing at Michigan State University, will answer the number one question farmers have been asking us, “ How can farmers turn the new customers they got during the pandemic into permanent customers?” Dr. Brian Schilling, Director of Rutgers Cooperative Extension will address recent direct marketing and agritourism issues. We will have breakout sessions on the topics of Succession Planning, Marketing, and Production. Finally, we will have a panel of women farmers who will discuss what worked and what they would change.
