“The 2019 New England Vegetable and Fruit Conference and Trade Show took place December 10-12 in Manchester NH. It was organized over two years by a committee of 38 people from 7 states representing extension, farmers, industry and research.
The program featured 34 educational sessions containing 170 half-hour presentations on a range of vegetable and fruit production, marketing, and management topics. In time slots historically reserved for these education presentation sessions, there were also 3 allocated to farmer-to-farmer discussion sessions, in addition to 11 one-hour farmer-to-farmer discussion sessions on a variety of topics.”
A 214-page conference proceedings summarizing 82 presentations was published and distributed to attendees.” These, and speaker slides, are posted at the New England Vegetable & Fruit Conference homepage.
