Abstract

Excerpts from the Preface: The conference’s theme, “Roadmap to Success for Small Farmers and Ranchers,” provided a forum to discuss local, state, regional and national small farm research, extension and outreach issues identified by stakeholders from land grant colleges and universities, community-based organizations and others working with small farmers and ranchers. Successful programs and projects were shared so as to promote and encourage innovative ideas that can be replicated in order to enhance economic opportunities and improve the quality of life for small farmers and ranchers. This is a train-the-trainer conference consisting of several preconference short courses, and program tracks focusing on: Implementing the 2008 Farm Bill Provisions to Assist Small Farmers and Ranchers; Exploring Alternative Enterprises and Marketing Opportunities; Meeting the Needs of Small and Beginning, Underserved and Diverse Farmers and Ranchers; Building Community Support for Small Farm and Ranch Viability; Developing Sustainable Farming Systems; Managing Business: Keeping the Farm and Ranch; and Meeting Energy Needs.
