Maine Agricultural Trades Show
Augusta Civic Center
Are you interested in growing raspberries as a commercial crop? Would this crop work well on your land? Would raspberries give a bump to your bottom line?
The University of Maine Cooperative Extension Raspberry School is designed to help people who are interested in raspberry production as a commercial enterprise. Basic site requirements, site preparation, plant selection, care of young plants, nutrient management, pruning, and pest management will be presented by Dr. David Handley, Vegetable and Small Fruit Specialist with the University of Maine Cooperative Extension.
The school will be held at the Augusta Civic Center during the Maine Agricultural Trades Show, which runs January 14-16, so participants will have an opportunity to come early and spend some time looking at the supplies, equipment and services on exhibit that are available to help them with a raspberry and other agricultural enterprises. Admission to the Trades Show is free. Pre-registration for the Raspberry School is not required.
