GRAYLING, Mich. (AP) ? An event next month will bring together people offering advice for small community farmers.

The Northern Michigan Small Farm Conference takes place Jan. 28 at Grayling High School in Grayling, about 45 miles east of Traverse City. Small-scale farmers, people considering becoming farmers and those interested in learning about the food system are invited.

Michigan State University Extension is among the sponsors. It says the aim is to provide tools that are needed for success. Topics include farming season extension, basic meat cutting, building profitability while helping families and using social media.

The registration deadline is Jan. 19. The cost is $50 for the first person and $35 for each additional person from the same family or farm.

Details and registration information are posted online.
