2014 Northern Shenandoah Valley Agricultural Summit

 


Thanks to everyone who participated in the 2014 Northern Shenandoah Valley Agricultural Summit. 
Virginia Cooperative Extension, Mid-Atlantic Farm Credit, and local Farm Bureau boards collaborated to facilitate a Northern Shenandoah Valley Agriculture and Natural Resources Summit.  Approximately 60 agricultural producers, landowners, agribusiness professionals, elected representatives, and county government officials representing the counties that comprise PD7 were invited to discuss issues on a regional basis.  This meeting used a SWOT analysis format  (identification of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) to assess the current situation, as well as identify areas that may need further exploration or regional response to support and strengthen the economy and future agricultural opportunities throughout the region.
Summarized Results will be available soon!
