University of Maine Cooperative Extension has launched the Maine Farmcast, a podcast that features weekly conversations with experts from across the country sharing insights and advice for both new and seasoned farmers running operations of any size.
Topics will include latest research results and ongoing projects, practical information about day-to-day operations, as well as guidance about emerging issues like H5N1 outbreaks. Hosts will interview fellow Extension educators from across the country, industry professionals, researchers and farmers.
A primary focus of the Maine Farmcast is to reach livestock farmers, but the diverse conversations will relate to anyone wanting to learn more about the ins and outs of livestock production including other extension agents, educators, agricultural service providers and the general public. Those who would like to share an idea for a future podcast or have any other questions can email [email protected].
