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.
