SUMMARY:Pioneer Valley Regional Agricultural Conference
DESCRIPTION:2020 Pioneer Valley Regional Agricultural Conference on January 18th from 9am to noon at the Smith Vocational and Agricultural High School in Northampton. \nThis is a free event. Doors open at 8:30am. The snow date is on January 25th at the same time and place. \nFarmers\, foresters\, landowners\, landscapers and others will have the opportunity to meet others in the field and discuss issues that concern them. \nWe are very excited about our three presentations: \nCan Dairy Farms make it in the Pioneer Valley? Denise Barstow\, Barstow’s Longview Farm \nBarstow’s Longview Farm is a sixth and seventh generation owned-and-operated dairy farm in Hadley\, MA. Thanks to business diversification and a supportive community\, the Barstow family has continued to produce nutritious food\, steward the land and landscape\, and preserve a way of life despite a very rocky milk market. Learn about this family operation and discuss how policies\, regulations\, and town planning can make or break a family farm. \nHadley is Heaven (and Farming is Purgatory) Wally Czajkowski\, Plainville Farm \nThe Czajkowski Family has been farming in the Pioneer Valley since 1914.  Wally’s Plainville Farm in Hadley is a diverse organic and conventional farm that produces asparagus\, green beans\, hemp\, winter squash\, and other crops.  Wally will discuss how they attract and retain a large workforce and navigate a rapidly changing labor law and regulatory environment. He’ll present on stewarding his land\, improving soil health\, and developing relationships with local supermarkets.  He’ll also discuss how the Town of Hadley supports agriculture and is a model for how other towns and cities can support and grow a strong and resilient local food economy. \nWhat to know before growing Hemp Taryn La Scola\, MDAR Division of Crop and Pest Services \nAgricultural hemp comes with its own set of complex rules and permits.  Taryn will explain the permit process and help clarify current rules and regulations for hemp growers. She’ll discuss advocacy efforts to improve state regulations for hemp growers. She’ll also discuss what farmers need to know about how to prepare their farms to grow hemp and what the evolving market looks like for hemp and CBD oil.

SUMMARY:Radicalize the Hive: What Bees Can Teach Us About Shaping Social Change [Webinar]
DESCRIPTION:Radicalize the Hive: What Bees Can Teach Us About Shaping Social Change\nWebinar Date: January 30\, 2020\, 2pm – 3pm\nRegisteR NOW! \nHosted by Farm to Institution New England and the New England Farm & Sea to Campus Network \nJoin us for a unique and interactive webinar\, led by consultant and beekeeper Ang Roell\, to learn about and practice building more effective collaborations. Taking inspiration from honey bees\, a social super-organism\, Ang will lead participants through conversations and practices designed to help us develop more intentional work by sharing power\, building trust\, and checking privilege. \nHoney bees are effective consensus builders who know how to organize around a specific purpose. They achieve this by sharing power\, working in collectives or teams to be more effective\, and make collective decisions through consistent communication based on both scent and dance.  We’ll look at several examples\, and use story-telling and visual aids to explore the many facets of this super-organism and apply lessons to our own work in building a better food system. \nThis webinar is open to anyone interested in building effective collaborations; in particular\, we invite participants who will be attending the upcoming Campus Farmer Summit\, to be held Feb 22\, 2020 at Stonehill College in Easton\, MA. We’ll apply lessons learned from the webinar throughout the conference – and beyond! \nModerator\n\nMaida Ives\, Manager of Farm Education and Operations\, Book & Plow Farm\, Amherst College and Campus Farms Working Group Co-Chair\n\nSpeaker\n\nAng Roell\, Organizational change-making consultant and apiary owner at They Keep Bees
