“Be
Different: Think Different, Manage Different, and Profit Different
from New, Sustainable, and Innovative Ways to Farm.”
This is the theme for the 14th National Small Farm Trade Show
& Conference that will be held at the Boone County Fair
grounds in Columbia November 2-4, 2006.
The trade show and conference, sponsored by Small Farm Today
magazine, allows innovative farmers, ranchers and educators
to share new ideas they are exploring through the trade show,
seminars, demonstrations, exhibitions and meetings. Last year’s
records show 4,400 people attended the 150 exhibitor small
farm conference and trade show, the largest of its kind in
the U.S.
The event is held Thursday Nov. 2 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and
on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 3-4, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission
is $8 for the first day, and $20 each for the second and third
days, which includes the trade show, one-hour seminars and
farmer forums. Admission is free to ages 12 and under. There
will be six short courses offered for $35 each.
