Those needing gravel road maintenance may call Dan Landerville of Greene at 946-4597, a certified Front Runner operator.  He will provide this service for a fee.

Farm Energy Conservation Workshop
A.J. Ballard, an energy auditor with Efficiency Maine, will give a PowerPoint presentation covering topics such as farm energy audits, reduction of energy consumption and financial programs. USDA Rural Development, Farm Service Agency and Natural Resources Conservation service will provide information about financial programs available. There will be plenty of time for networking opportunities as well.

We would like to know what type of workshops you would be interested in.
