Thank you!
We wanted to say thank you to You! We have all experienced a very different, challenging, and eye-opening past few years. We have all had to make changes, accommodations, and acceptances during this time as well. UVM Extension Northwest Crops & Soils Program has been able to continue with our projects and research trials, and we have continued to provide the information and research updates to you. We have appreciated the continued participation in the virtual events and webinars we have been able to provide. We also are really looking forward to offering in-person and on-farm events this summer and beyond! So once again, Thank You for your patience and continued interest in working with our NWCS Program!

Remembering Jack Lazor
Among the many gifts Jack gave to us and the world was cultivation. Cultivation of plants and animals to provide nutritious foods. Cultivation of knowledge through his teaching at UVM and beyond. And, perhaps most importantly, cultivation of relationships – bringing together people throughout the food system to find a common path to sustainability. Jack’s work to help found the Northern Grain Growers Association is an example of this cultivation. Bringing together not only farmers but bakers, millers, and buyers that he met through his business and travels – all with the common goal of feeding people healthy foods while healing the earth.
Through the Northern Grain Growers Association, there is a donation opportunity to the Northern Flint Corn Consortium in honor of Jack.

The primary goal of the Northern Flint Corn Consortium is to help increase food production among Indigenous people and to help them find ways to sustain it. Education of students, participatory learning with the public, new connections, and new seeds for those who desire them.
