All are Invited to Attend a Virtual Farm Management PFT Meeting!
The PFT leadership has decided to hold the spring Farm Management PFT meeting via Zoom, so it will be May 24, from 1 – 3 p.m. The agenda, including the Zoom link, is below. The main purpose of this meeting is to communicate what events and programs are already planned for the upcoming programming season, and to introduce the new Farm and Ranch Transition services that are now underway. Just as important is time allotted for discussion of the needs that agents are seeing and how the Agricultural Economics Extension team can assist. Please mark your calendar and attend if possible. All agents are invited to join the meeting, not just those in the PFT.
