 Central Lakes College held its 29th annual farm forum today. Community members had the chance to hear from different speakers on the current issues in agriculture. Some of those issues included township nitrate testing, technology in agriculture, soil health and fertility. Agriculture changes about every six months for several different reasons and CLC believes it's important to host these forums to help keep local farmers updated on those changes and issues. Every year we want to provide updates to farmers how does it impact their operation and so they want to have a single point if you will of a place they can come and so that's why we offer this forum because it is a forum in the sense that there's multiple topics. The CLC Staples campus will also host the central Minnesota Food Access Summit December 15th. Community members are invited to discuss and learn about food access issues facing area residents.
