NH Farm and Forest Expo

'Tis the season for trade shows! Yankee staff have been busy attending various industry meetings and conferences. Last week, Ken Nelson, Assistant Vice President, Jean Conklin, Senior Loan Officer and Clara Ayer, Loan Officer, all of the White River Junction office attended the NH Farm and Forest Expo held in Manchester, NH. This year marked the show's 31st year.

Not only is this event an industry trade show, but this year they offered over 20 educational workshops. Jean participated in the "Accessing Business Capital: Pathways to Successful Financial Relationships" workshop put on by the NH Ag Financiers group. 

Overall, the show was well attended with lots of young people involved with 4-H and FFA. It's always exciting to see the younger generations at these events showing an interest in agriculture!
