Agricultural Conference was a Success!
The Agricultural Conference, hosted by Northeast Harvest, was held on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 at the Topsfield Fairgrounds. This event was well attended and enjoyed by all. Those in attendance came to the conference for different reasons and walked away with a better knowledge of agriculture. Our plans are to continue with this event on an annual basis. Please let us know what is important to you - we will try to include your ideas. Email us now with your thoughts.
