Directed at farmers, landowners, farm managers, agency and educational personnel, this conference will include an opportunity to participate in six concurrent sessions. As part of the conference, we also plan to have a display and resource area.
Inquiries welcome, pre-registration required.
Set aside Saturday, August 22 for an informative afternoon of speakers and fantastic food. The mystery and mayhem surrounding the National Organic Standards will also be discussed. Other highlights of the field day include a dinner featuring many organic foods and a tour of the Stewardship Farm's organic fields following the meal. The Stewardship Farm, located near Decatur, is a working farm dedicated to using research, observation, and demonstration to develop and promote agriculture that fosters stewardship of natural resources, strengthens the economic health of farmers and rural communities, and contributes to a healthy food supply. The program will start at 1 p.m. at Richland Community College, three miles northeast of downtown Decatur.
