Maryellen Sheehan is Madison County CCE’s Agriculture & Horticulture Resource Educator. Her main focus supports commercial specialty crop producers and general agriculture, but she also works with farm and food businesses, the local food system, and natural resource & climate adaptation programming. Maryellen grew vegetables across the northeast since 1998, seeing first-hand how climate change and extreme weather impacts farm production. She returned to school for an MS in Environmental Studies that focused on the interaction between agriculture and northeastern ecosystems and how we can maintain profitable and viable farm businesses, forestland, and communities amidst change. Maryellen is especially interested in helping farmers adapt to intense weather, plant disease pressure, challenging economics, and building collaborative farmer networks.
