Healthy soil and sustainable growing

Dear Growers,

 

The program and registration for the upcoming Great Plains Vegetable Growers Conference to be held at the Ramada Inn, St Joseph, MO on Jan 10, 11, 12, 2008 are out and available at:

This year’s conference will really be a good one!  In addition to the day long high tunnel workshop, we’ll have a CSA mini-school on January 10. If you’ve wondered what a CSA is, and if one is right for you, then this is the place to find out; and in detail.  The program on Friday and Saturday has multiple tracks, covering topics including small fruit, cut flowers and marketing, in addition to organic and conventional production, postharvest and food safety.  Many talks are by experienced growers who will share their experiences and insights.

 

We hope that this is the sort of conference you will need to bring your partner to in order to be able to capture all the good information.  

 

Take a look at the program, and please plan to attend. You won’t be disappointed.

 

Sincerely
