[sustainable_tompkins-l] Sept. 13 NOFA-NY Equipment Tutorial Field Day in Tompkins Co.

[Amy Blum]

Equipment Tutorial For Small Farmers in Tompkins County...
September 13, 2017, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Are you a new or growing farm looking to purchase equipment that's right for 
you both financially and logistically? Making mechanized equipment purchases 
can be a daunting task! Join us for a hands-on evening to look at and learn 
about various different types of equipment to determine what will be 
appropriate for the size and needs of your operation. Facilitated by 
Groundswell Center for Food & Farming and taught by experienced farmers and a 
mechanic, this field day will help you consider buying new or used, parts and 
maintenance, size and condition, and some of the precautions needed to make 
realistic choices. This just might be the risk management tool that will make 
your next investment a success!

This event is produced by NOFA-NY and Groundswell Center for Food & 
Farming with support from the USDA-Risk Management 
Agency.

Held at Remembrance Farm

-- 
Nothing in the world
is as soft and yielding as water.
Yet for dissolving the hard and inflexible,
nothing can surpass it.
The soft overcomes the hard;
the gentle overcomes the rigid.
Everyone knows this is true,
but few can put it into practice...
True words seem paradoxical.
[Tao te Ching]
