We have added some new hand tools to our equipment rental program! This includes a Gridder, Dibbler, and Bed Roller. The Gridder perfectly lays out rows on a growing bed to give each plant the ideal amount of space. Many plant spacings can be achieved with one spool using the corners, sides, and the middle of grid squares. The Dibbler attaches and is perfect for compacted or hard soils to mark out perfectly spaced plantings. It can also punch through plastic mulch! The Bed Roller is designed for long lasting use in leveling, firming and smoothing planting beds. Our hand tools are free to rent!

Forage analysis provides information on the nutrient content, palatability, and digestibility of feed, which is essential to ensure optimal health and development of livestock. This information can help boost animal performance and farmer profitability. With our new forage probe, we are available to visit your farm and collect samples and send them to a laboratory for analysis! Reach out to Matthew to schedule your forage sample - [email protected] or (413)362-4720. The first 5 farmers to sign up will receive 3 samples for free!

On April first, the Senate unanimously passed An Act Fostering Agricultural Resilience in Massachusetts. The bill is a strong step in securing healthy food and farm viability. The Healthy Incentives Program (HIP) and Farm to School Program would be made permanent, helping families afford fresh produce and aid farmers in securing profitable supply chains. Another goal of the bill is to streamline the process of evaluation for the Agricultural Preservation Restriction (APR) program to guarantee long-term farm sustainability.

Next the bill needs to be passed by the House and any changes between the Senate and House proposals need to be resolved in conference before it can be sent to the Governor for signature. The state legislature is urgently needed to support the farms, producers, and fisheries at the foundation of our vital food systems and this Farm Bill includes forward-looking planning initiatives fit for the job! Contact your state representatives today in support of this amazing bill!

A Local Working Group is simply a community conversation with a purpose. The feedback gathered helps guide conservation programs offered through the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and your local Conservation District – HHCD! The group identifies the most pressing natural resource concerns in our area and provides recommendations on conservation priorities and funding focus.
