Young Farmers Regional Meetings

May 01, 2009

The Young Farmers and Ranchers Committee have started hosting a series of regional meetings to recruit more interest from more localized regions to bring back to the state Committee.  The central Maine region has a growing group that has many activities planned in Newport.

Join the committee at the Newport Entertainment Center for a brief planning meeting followed by pizza and bowling.  There is plenty of fun and fellowship, as well as the opportunity to address any  issues and plan events.

Much more to be discussed.  Contact Jasmine at Maine Farm Bureau: 1-800-639-2126 or Ethan Robertson, Committee Chair at: 474-5090
