The Farm Bill and the Connecticut River Watershed of VT & NH

April 15, 2024 – 10am to 2pm

Location: Newmont Farm, 161 Mallary Road, Bradford, VT 05033

The Connecticut River watershed of Vermont and New Hampshire is home to a diversity of farms. Many of these farms are small and provide niche products, especially when compared to the large farms of the Midwest and elsewhere in the United States. The farm bill is the single most important national legislation for farmers, food, and nutrition. The 2018 farm bill is up for replacement before September 2024, after being extended in 2023. What might be in a renewed farm bill and how will it affect our local farmers? What more or less could be done that might benefit the Connecticut River watershed farmers? Hear about and discuss these questions with state representatives and local farmers through this bi-state event.
