I would like to invite you to Michigan's Soil Building Workshop on August 29-30 in Sears Mi (west of Clare, MI). The 29th (Wed) will focus on aspects of building soil and quality for grain systems and the 30th (Thur) will focus on building soil quality in vegetable systems. The information that will be shared will be relevant to organic and sustainable farmers. Our guest speaker is Dr. Paul Hepperly from Rodale Research Institute in Pennsylvania. He will present "Twenty Seven Years of soil building-what we have and have not learned". He will discuss the results of their long term trial and the impact and development of soil quality in the various systems.
