Good afternoon folks!
 
I don't know about you all, but we are finally getting some cold weather - and neither one of us is real happy about it.  But, what it does is allow us the time to evaluate this year's efforts and start planning improvements for next year.  One of the ways we learn about new techniques is to go to some conferences.  One of the best that we know of - if not THE best - is the Practical Tools and Solutions for Sustaining Family Farms Conference that SSAWG offers each year.  This year it is going to be in beautiful Chattanooga, Tennessee.  There will be short courses (Paul and I will be teaching one on high tunnels), interactive mini-courses, and field trips to local outstanding farming operations as pre-conference offerings.  Then two days of fabulous sessions, a Taste of Tennessee dinner with John Ikerd as keynote speaker, lots of vendors with the things you really want to look at in person rather than a catalog,  a silent auction that always has some really cool items, and perhaps most importantly, the assemblage of some of the best minds in sustainable agriculture in the South for all the hallway discussions.
 
So, come to Chattanooga in January and join us.  You'll have the time of your life and go back with many ideas for improving your farming operation.  All the details are here:  http://www.ssawg.org/conference-.html  The short courses and field trips often fill up fast, so don't put it off.  Wouldn't it make a great Christmas gift for yourself or a best-loved farmer?
See you in January in Chattanooga!
