SUMMARY:Irrigation Systems and Management at Warner Farm
DESCRIPTION:Register here!  \nWarner Farm\, a CSA and wholesale farm as well as the home of Mike’s Corn Maze\, located in Sunderland\, MA\, has been developing its irrigation capacity since the late 1970s. The farm’s rich sandy loam has been growing fruit and vegetable crops for centuries and as a changing climate brings changing precipitation patterns to New England\, Warner Farm is poised to respond effectively in times of drought.  \nJoin CISA\, UMass Extension\, and Dave Wissemann of Warner Farm on July 13th at 4:00pm for an up close look at how they are optimizing their water resources and water distribution systems to ensure the sustainable production of crops throughout the season and in the face of increasingly uncertain growing conditions. The workshop includes a farm walk to see irrigation equipment and a detailed explanation of how the farm’s systems are designed and maintained. Following the farm walk\, join us for further discussion and some locally made drinks and snacks.  \nThis workshop and networking event is part of the 2023 Adapt Your Farm to Climate Change Webinar and Workshop Series: On-farm Climate Change Adaptation Case Studies from Western Massachusetts. \nLocation: Warner Farm\, 23 S Main St\, Sunderland\, MA 01375 \nContact Stephen Taranto at stephen@buylocalfood.org or 413-665-7100 ext. 17 with any questions. \nThis work is supported by the Beginning Farmer and Ranger Development Program grant no. 2020-70017-32420 from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture.

SUMMARY:Sawyer Farm Reduced-Till Perennial Clover Trials
DESCRIPTION:Register here! \nOver the past several seasons\, farmers at Sawyer have been experimenting with different ways to plant row crops into perennial white clover and reduce tillage using a series of innovative practices. Join CISA\, UMass Extension\, Berkshire Conservation District\, Hampden-Hampshire Conservation District\, and Sawyer Farm’s Lincoln Fishman for a close look at transplanter shoe adaptations designed to reduce soil disturbance and weed competition in perennial clover and cash crop production. \nThis in-person workshop will be followed with an on-farm networking opportunity and equipment demo. Berkshire Conservation District will display their no-till drill seeder\, which is available for rentals and can be used for mixed or single species applications from clovers and orchard grass to rye and soybeans\, and the Hampden-Hampshire Conservation District will display their ESCH 5605 seed drill. The workshop is co-sponsored by CISA and UMass Extension\, and will take a close look at the system and the research underway with UMass through a SARE Partnership Grant\, and is part of CISA’s 2023 Adapt Your Farm to Climate Change Webinar and Workshop Series: On-farm Climate Change Adaptation Case Studies from western Massachusetts. \nPresenter: Sawyer Farm is in Worthington\, MA. Lincoln\, Hilary\, Erica\, and Butch have been growing vegetables at Sawyer since 2010. \nThis is an in-person event at 42 Old North Rd\, Worthington\, MA\, 01098 \nContact Stephen Taranto\, CISA Climate Program Coordinator\, at stephen@buylocalfood.org or 413-665-7100 ext. 17 with any questions. \nThis work is supported by the Beginning Farmer and Ranger Development Program grant no. 2020-70017-32420 from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
