“Join us in the field this summer!”
We’re partnering with wonderful farmers, organizations, and researchers to bring you this year’s field day series. Field days will highlight innovative practices both at working organic farms and research stations. They’ll feature farmers with creative solutions that support the diversification of crops to support domestic and value-added organic grain markets. We’ll also be joined by researchers working in breeding, crop management, and soil health.
The field days in this series are designed to provide valuable information to certified organic farmers, farmers interested in exploring the transition to certified organic production, as well as farmers interested in cover crops, soil health practices, or diverse crops and markets.
