COURT HOUSE – Are you interested in increasing your farm’s profits? Rutgers Cooperative Extension is offering a full-day seminar. Speakers will cover Integrated Pest Management, crop insurance, cultural controls, writing a production plan and farm business finances. A tour of the Rutgers EcoComplex greenhouses will give participants a behind the scenes view of orchids, living walls and a greenhouse basil operation.
Business planning and production techniques are two of the most important and useful activities involved in farm business planning. Not only is this process a key to success in helping to understand and articulate what the farm enterprise will look like, it is also important in building a farm plan that is economically sustainable. By the end of the conference participants will have a draft of their production plan, a key component of their business plan.
The class will be held at the Rutgers EcoComplex, 1200 Florence-Columbus Rd., Bordentown, NJ 08505-4200. To sign up please go to http://anniesprojectproduction.eventbrite.com . The cost of the full day conference is $25 and lunch will be provided. Please contact Jenny Carleo (Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Cape May County) at 609-465-5115 for more details.

Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
