NEW FARMERS ACADEMY
There
is an opportunity for folks who have never farmed before to gain some knowledge
and experience in the New Farmers Academy, a program supported by Tennessee
State University and led by one of our staff, Finis Stribling III, the small
farm specialist for TSU. This
academy is a unique school, meeting once a month from March through
September. This is a look at farm
business and marketing basics to help build management skills. Basic agricultural practices are
also covered in each session. There are a
wide range of topics here, from plant to animal to value-added concepts. There is also hands-on experiences with some
of the sessions that will help develop production skills. The deadline for registration for 2018 has passed.
