Farm Teams

What are Farm Teams?

Farm Teams are designed for agricultural producers who work with multiple agricultural service providers (i.e. NRCS, UVM Extension, grazing specialists, business planners, seed/fertilizer consultants, bank-loan representatives, veterinarians). We know that keeping them all up-to-date on your operation can be burdensome and time consuming.  We want to help coordinate your service providers by facilitating group meetings at strategic times throughout the year for focused discussion with you about your farming and conservation goals.  We believe that by streamlining  coordination with your partners, we can provide more useful assistance to you and your farm! 

The mission of the Farm Team is to streamline agricultural assistance and improve farm viability, while increasing adoption of on-farm conservation practices. These meetings will be scheduled at your convenience and may be held on-farm or virtually via video conference call.  The District will work with you to set up the type of meeting that will work best for you and your operation. Prior to each of these meetings, District staff may contact you to gather any documents, maps, or updates that may be helpful to share with members of your Farm Team.
