Join The Land Connection, OGRAIN, Paul Hoffman, and IDEA Farm Network at Hoffman Organic Farm from 10-3 on August 20th. We’ll focus on Paul’s organic field crops, but this family farm has much more to offer including organic vegetables and grass-fed lamb and beef. Our cover crop conversations will include frost seeded red clover, post wheat harvest, and cash cover cropping for buckwheat seed production while including pearl millet and sunn hemp. We’ll look at using solar corridors for growing winter squash interseeded into corn. We’ll also spend some time talking about the TOPP Organic Grain Mentorship Program with Paul and his mentee, Vickie. The mentorship program pairs experienced organic farmers with experienced conventional farmers looking to transition acres into organic to facilitate peer support and information sharing. This field day is free to attend and includes lunch. Please register to help us plan lunch.
