Are you ready to learn something new? On October 25, the Maine Forest Service is putting up a free harvest workshop ‘Are You Ready for Harvest?’ that will focus on proving the public with essential timber harvesting skills.

Flannery said, “A quality crop is going into storage with somewhere close to average yield.”
