 |
Did you know that Maryland agriculture is a $17.8 billion dollar industry?
|
|
Did you know that Maryland farms provide fuel for your car, grass for Camden Yards,
the Christmas tree in your house, or the packing peanuts for your gift boxes?
|
Gas prices, nutrition, genetic
engineering, and the environment are today’s issues and
all of them relate to Maryland’s agricultural industry.
The Maryland Grain Producers Association (MGPA), in conjunction with
the Maryland Cooperative Extension, has established a Speakers Bureau to raise awareness of agriculture.
The speakers are volunteers who either farm or are involved in farm related businesses or
activities, and are located across the state. Speakers are available for civic organizations,
club meetings, conferences, or any group looking for an interesting presentation.
We have a variety of programs to select for your
meeting – or schedule us for more than one!
