Drought (and other problems) Roundtable
Thursday, 12/11/2025 in Bethlehem OR Wednesday 12/17/2025 in Plymouth
From drought, to flood, to increasing pest pressures, recent years bring new challenges for farming in Grafton County. This roundtable and potluck is your chance to gather in community with other local farmers. We will discuss not only the issues we face, but also potential solutions.
So, what problems have you been experiencing? What is working for you? What questions do you have for your neighbors, and what support do you need?
Together, we will learn and connect over a meal. Join the Grafton County Conservation District in Bethlehem on 12/11 at 5:00pm or in Plymouth on 12/17 at 5:00pm and register on the GCCD website.
Contact the Grafton County Conservation District (lsokoloski@graftoncountynh.gov or (603) 787-6973) with questions. We will see you there!
