Today (May 10, 2023) is the deadline for specialty crop producers in South Dakota to fill out a survey seeking to build informal resources for local partners and implement effective strategies in supporting producers in the building of a sustainable local food system.
The US Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service and the South Dakota Specialty Crop Association are working jointly on the project. It will include developing a variety of educational opportunities, resources and tools while also improving and building technical skills to maintain a high level of expertise to support urban and rural agricultural sectors and conservation and to grow healthy foods and economic opportunities.
To accomplish this, all producers, and those involved with their local food systems, are encouraged to take our upcoming survey deciding which training topics they feel are needed. The survey data will be collected until May 10, 2023. Survey link can be found at https://forms.gle/hAa9VMKSj2iN62CK7.
Data received will help the South Dakota Specialty Producers Association gauge and determine which training programs would be most beneficial for producers in the state of South Dakota.
