The theme for this year is “The Cost of Farming.” Mark Hoffe is an outreach coordinator with NL Young Farmers. He says there are many aspects to the cost of farming, such as business planning, start-up costs, land acquisition, private or crown, funding and more. About 65 delegates, including young farmers, government representatives and other industry stakeholders are expected to attend. Coordinator Lisa Davis says the event will include a variety of workshops and presentations covering a variety of topics.  A panel of young farmers representing Atlantic Canada will engage their peers on the Challenges of Farming and Lessons Learned.
