On this episode of the Maine Farmcast, Drs. Glenda Pereira and Colt Knight sit down with Donna Coffin, Professor Emerita, University of Maine Cooperative Extension. She was a professor at the University of Maine, and served in the role of extension educator in Piscataquis and Penobscot Counties. In this conversation we talk about all things including her program "So You Want to Farm in Maine," being the first female agricultural extension agent in Ohio, and her passion for spinning and fiber products. Her dog, Raymond, joined us in the studio and was featured as a co-host. The episode starts off discussing some of Dr. Knight’s coal mining days shenanigans, goes through Donna’s days as an extension educator, and we end up discussing wool production.
