Do you have timber, nuts, fruits, botanicals, native plants, mushrooms or other alternative agricultural products on your land to sell?

Missouri Exchange Workshop
July 19, 2007 - 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. - Columbia, Mo.

Do you have alternative agricultural products on your land to sell? Are there Missouri-grown products you are looking for but can't find? Land and forest owners and natural resource professionals are invited to learn how to post value added products for sale on the new Missouri Exchange web site (and how to purchase Missourimade agricultural items) at the Missouri Exchange Workshop on July 19 at the University of Missouri campus, Columbia, Mo. Membership to Missouri Exchange is free (all you have to do is register) and allows register users to network with other buyers/sellers of a diverse range Missouri agricultural products and native plants.

Workshop speakers will address using the site and tips for timber harvest, nut crops, specialty mushrooms and more. Educational booths from Missouri land and forest owners and a local-foods lunch will also be featured, with opportunities for networking with other growers or potential buyers. Registration is free, but limited to 60 participants and required by July 10, 2007. To register, contact Julie Rhoads, Events Coordinator, at (573) 882-3234; or email rhoadsj@missouri.edu. See story on Article 9.

Workshop hosted by the University of Missouri Center for Agroforestry with funding from the USDA Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education program.
