Healthy soil and sustainable growing

Hi All,

I'm passing on this announcement of a pastured poultry seminar at the 
farm of Hermann and Laura Weber near Attica, New York, April 26. Hermann 
has been putting these on at his place each spring for a number of years 
now. I was the speaker at the one last year, and it was a good event. 
Get in touch with Hermann to register, or for more info than provided by 
the following.
