Family farms are continually facing new challenges in today’s economy.

A trade show will be held at the conference, with space for vendor booths and equipment displays.
The target audience for this conference includes producers of all types of livestock and specialty crop production in the Western Panhandle of Florida and Baldwin and Escambia Counties in Alabama. We are also advertising the conference as an informational seminar for existing and prospective ranchers and specialty crop producers. Conference topics include “Keys to Successfully Choosing Enterprises That Suit Your Small Farm,” “Small Farm Livestock Production,” “Beef Cattle and Goat Production,” “Small Farms Poultry Management,” and “High Tunnel Production.”
