We're so excited to host Dr. Temple Grandin next week here on campus at the University of New Hampshire!

Dr. Grandin’s professional training as a scientist and her amazing life as a person with autism has given her a perspective like that of no other expert in the field of animal science. She'll be sharing her 50+ years of experience in observing animals -- we can't wait.

Exciting opportunity to hear Temple Grandin live in Durham, NH! 🐄🐖🐎

Flood one week….drought the next? If you’re farming in New Hampshire, you already know—water is never what we expect. Unpredictable weather isn’t going away. From extreme rainfall to dry spells, we’re seeing bigger swings every season, especially stressful during transplanting season. At our upcoming training we’re diving into the practical irrigation and water management strategies for NH farms. We’ll cover: 1, how to build an efficient irrigation program. 2, new technologies that can save time and water. 3, federal funding opportunities to help you adopt these tools. As farmers we can’t control the weather but we CAN control how prepared we are. Join us. Link to register in bio. Pizza and socializing to follow sponsored by
