We will offering a drop-in information session at our conference where you can get your farm, farm stand or farmers market authorized for SNAP (formerly food stamps) and receive your USDA FNS number the very same day! USDA staff will be on site to walk you through the process and assist with your application. Find out about wireless equipment options to process SNAP payments (as well as credit/debit) and learn about other resources available. More details on our conference webpage.

If you have thumbed through a trade publication recently (Acres USA, Country Folks, The Natural Farmer) odds are you’ve seen the increased marketing effort for biological inoculants. As we re-launch a monthly column on vegetable farming in the SEMAP Vine, I decided to take a bit of time sharing my thoughts on the potential beneficial impacts of seed and soil inoculation ahead of propagation season.
