UNH Cooperative Extension offers New England growers educational events, resources
University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension is hosting several upcoming events. Plus, it is offering resources for New England’s vegetable, fruit and greenhouse growers.
From participating in surveys to attending regional conferences and webinars, there are numerous opportunities to stay informed and connect with fellow growers.
Survey for high tunnel growers
Researchers from the University of Vermont, in collaboration with the University of New Hampshire, are inviting high tunnel growers to participate in a survey to share their production practices and challenges. This feedback will guide future research aimed at improving nutrient and pest management for high tunnel crops. The survey, which takes about 10-15 minutes, is anonymous. To participate, visit UVM High Tunnel Survey.
