The University of Maryland Extension (UME) is creating a free 5 module online training course to educate county and state officials on agricultural practices involving the grain, forage, dairy, and poultry industries and at the same time, cover basic legal issues impacting Maryland agricultural producers.
The course modules are instructed by notable speakers apart of the University of Maryland Extension, including Dr. Nicole Fiorellino, Dr. Amanda Grev, Dr. Jon Moyle, Dr. Sarah Potts, and Dr. Paul Goeringer. This online course is for state and county officials, including administrative law judges (ALJs), members of county Agricultural Reconciliation Boards, zoning and planning officials, and county commissioners and council members to provide information about Maryland’s grain industry and its interconnectedness to the dairy and poultry industries. Officials would also gain an overview of the state’s right-to-farm law and the role that counties play in that law.
