Here are two upcoming webinars offered by NC SARE and E Organic. They are free and are intended for farmers and beginning farmers seeking to expand their knowledge: the first one on organic transplants and soil media (TODAY @ 2 PM EST) and the second one (next Tue) on beginning dairy (I see the local organic cheese industry is growing in demand big time!) Read on to get a summary and find the registration link.
Cheers and hope to "see you today"

Hello folks,

Root Media and Soil Fertility for Organic Transplants, presented by

soluble and mid-crop nutrient sources, 4) compost as a
primary, on-farm or locally available root media and nutrient

presentation by Heather Darby of the University of Vermont, and Cindy
Daley of the University of California-Chico from the NOFA-NY Organic
Dairy and Field Crop Conference in Syracuse, New
York, entitled Healthy Soils for a Healthy Organic Dairy Farm. The
presenters will discuss how to build and maintain healthy soils and
soil testing for nutrients and overall health. They will share recent
on-farm research results that show the changes in forage quality and
milk production on amended and non-amended organic pastures. The free
broadcast will take place on November 4, 2011 at 1:15 PM Eastern Time
