Many of you may be aware of a free e-newsletter called Ag Opportunities but if not you should become familiar with it. This e-newseltter began in March 1990 where it was a bimonthly newsletter. In July 2005 it became a monthly newsletter. Ag Opportunities contains gobs of great resources on all sorts of alterative agricultural information. The newsletter generally contains a main story or two relating to an alterantive enterprise, information on any upcoming grants that are applicable for farmers along with resources for financial assistance, anything considered "in the news" or new resources online or in print and a listing of upcoming events that may be of interest to you. There are several groups such as the Green Hills Farm Project, Growing Growers and Grazing Schools that have their own workshops or meetings that are also listed as their own calendar of events. The May 2012 issue topics are listed below. If you find the newsletter of interest, be sure to subscribe. It's free.
