PORTLAND, Maine (AP) Maine’s largest farm trade show will be a virtual event next year as the state’s agricultural sector continues to adapt to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry says in a statement Maine Agricultural Trades Show will be held online in January 2021.
The department organizes the event, and department officials says the ability to gather in person “is still likely to be limited to a level that is much lower than the number of people who would regularly attend” the trade show.
The trade show has taken place since 1941 and typically includes more than 100 exhibitors and dozens of conference sessions.
