Farming survey

Farming survey

YOUNGSTOWN — Mahoning Soil and Water Conservation District, in partnership with the Mahoning County Farm Bureau and Ohio State University Extension, has mailed a survey to local agricultural producers.

The survey was sent to producers in Mahoning County and the surrounding areas that grow and develop products to sell. Plans are to take the survey information and create a brochure to distribute to the public so they know where they can go buy locally grown products.

Any local producer interested in completing the survey and who does not receive one in the mail should call WCD at (330)740-7995. The survey will also be available on line at the Farm Bureau Web site: http://mahfb.com/agrifocussurvey.htm.
