On-Farm Research: Tillage Reduction at Sawyer Farm
March 6th, 2023 @ 5:00-6:00pm
Remote
Over the past several seasons, Sawyer Farm has been successfully growing vegetables directly in a perennial Dutch White clover sod. Lincoln Fishman will explain how the system works, and discuss its benefits and current limitations. He’ll discuss no-till transplanter modifications designed to reduce soil disturbance and weed competition. Join CISA for a presentation and discussion about progress-to-date as well as opportunities for farmers to participate in the research by conducting their own on-farm trials!
