Subject: hurricane preparedness for horticultural producers
With some possible severe weather coming our way this weekend, I thought it would be a good idea to provide some food for thought on how to best prepare small farms. I was not able to find any existing resources that related specifically to diversified farms so I put together a web page that included input from several of our experienced farmers.
Please visit Cooperative Extension’s Growing Small Farm website at http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/chatham/ag/SustAg/hurricanes.html to view this document.
I did this web page very quickly and it is very much a work in progress. I wanted to go ahead and get it out there so that it could be helpful before this weekend. I would appreciate any and all feedback – what else would you like to see included? Do you have tips you would like to share, etc. Please reply to this email if you have any comments.
I wish everyone good luck!
