Mike Langely will host all interested vegetable and berry growers
at their farm in New Gloucester. We will tour the fields of strawberries,
get a look at
the new, state of the art irrigation pond and have a cultivation
demonstration. We'll also have a quick review of scouting techniques
for
the major insect pests. One pesticide applicator recertification
credit will be offered for attending the meeting.
Directions to Langley's: Take the Union Street exit off of I-95 in Bangor and go west on rt. 222 toward Hermon. Proceed on Rt. 222 for a little over 5 miles, then turn right onto Crogan Rd. (look for the blue DOT sign). The farm is about ½ mile up Crogan Rd. on the right.
