The Connecticut River Joint Commissions are hosting an April 15 NH/VT discussion

BRADFORD — The Connecticut River Joint Commissions are hosting an April 15 NH/VT discussion in Bradford about the betterment of the Connecticut River Valley. “The Farm Bill and the Connecticut River Watershed of VT & NH” takes place from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Newmont Farm, 161 Mallary Road. The Connecticut River watershed of Vermont and New Hampshire is home to a diversity of farms. Many of these farms are small and provide niche products, especially when compared to the large farms of the Midwest and elsewhere in the United States. The farm bill, officials say, is the single most important national legislation for farmers, food, and nutrition. The 2018 farm bill is up for replacement before September 2024, after being extended in 2023.
