PRINCESS ANNE, MD \u2013 (July 26, 2021) \u2013 University of Maryland Eastern Shore Extension, in partnership with Atlantic Tractor LLC, is hosting an Ag Showcase at the UMES Research and Education Farm on Stewart Neck Road on Wednesday, August 18, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The showcase is the inaugural event between the two organizations, both interested in the success of the Eastern Shore farmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants can expect informational sessions involving a 90-acre soybean demonstration plot, alternative and specialty crop demonstration plots, a John Deere Operations Center classroom training and farm equipment for small- and large-scale farm operations. Exhibitors and Ag vendors will man interactive booths.  Food trucks will be on site. The primary goal of the event is to present each participant with agriculture diversification opportunities fit for their particular operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the event is free and open to small- and large-scale farmers, registration is required for logistical purposes.
