This marketing workshop is a joint effort with Southern University and A&M College, Baton Rouge, LA. USDA and Southern University staffs are working together to develop a hands-on workshop to help limited resource farmers maximize their economic potential through alternative crop selection, efficient production techniques, and innovative marketing methods. It will give producers hands-on experience in developing effective marketing plans, and producing and marketing quality products. Product quality demonstrations on livestock (beef, goats, hogs, and poultry) will be conducted during the workshop. Our target audience is limited resource farmers, producers, woodlot owners and ranchers in seven mid-Southern States -- Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee.
