Are you a Maine farmer, food producer, or food and agriculture business owner or stakeholder? The Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry (DACF) wants to hear from you!
We are hosting two listening sessions and a survey to help DACF staff better understand your experiences related to accessing business funding. DACF will use the data collected to develop a report for the Legislature that includes proposed changes that will make DACF programs more accessible and effective.
Agricultural community members are encouraged to share their feedback in both the listening sessions and the survey, or through either format. The questions presented in the listening sessions will mirror the survey. Listening session participation is not required to share feedback.
Join DACF for one or both of the online listening sessions:
Thursday, October 16, 2025, 1:00 to 2:00 pm via Zoom
Friday, October 24, 2025, 11:00 am to 12:00 pm via Zoom
These listening sessions will be led by an independent facilitator and provide an important opportunity to share your perspective and ideas.
There are 12 survey questions. The survey should take approximately 5-7 minutes to complete. Survey responses will be collected Monday, October 6, 2025 – Friday, October 24, 2025.
We look forward to receiving your insights, which will help shape programs that work better for Maine’s agricultural community.
