“GLEXPO was a great experience!” Roseann Bills, Certain League Farm Foundation Founder, said. Bills was one of the farmers who attended through this scholarship opportunity. “My favorite takeaway from one of the sessions is to get a mentor. Go ahead and take classes and learn from them, but a mentor makes the process so much smoother." To increase access to the Great Lakes EXPO (GLEXPO), Michigan’s Emerging Farmers, a collaborative program with MSUCRFS, Michigan State University Extension , and Michigan Food & Farming Systems (MIFFS), offered conference scholarships to Michigan producers. Over 30 producers accepted these scholarships, with a majority of them attending this conference for the first time.  Learn more about the event in this article: https://lnkd.in/eeTXjCd6

If you’re tired of watching other people build skills while you scroll — this is for you. I want to name this plainly for anyone circling the idea of becoming a Michigan State University Extension Master Gardener. This year taught me something difficult and useful: When people react strongly to others’ skills, it’s rarely jealousy. It’s usually interest without a pathway. Community education is the pathway. If you want: - science-based learning - practical skills you can use where you live - a way to contribute offline, season after season This is a solid place to start. Gardening doesn’t reward performance. It rewards fundamentals, patience, and showing up.
