SCOTTSBLUFF AND WEST POINT, NEBRASKA – Those interested in learning about farming are invited to attend workshops in Scottsbluff and West Point. These free events are hosted by the Center for Rural Affairs.

Two sessions of “Explore Farming” will be presented in both English and Spanish. 

  • Scottsbluff: Saturday, July 10, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. MT, at Centennial Park - Gazebo, 400 E. 20th St.
  • West Point: Sunday, July 25, from 2 to 3 p.m., at Neligh Park Log Cabin/330 Center Building, in Neligh Park.

“Starting your own agricultural business can be daunting, and these workshops offer information on where to begin the process,” said Lucia Schulz, community organizing associate for the Center for Rural Affairs. “Attendees will learn how to develop skills for farming, about resources they may need, and much more.”
