This two day event will bring together interested researchers, farmers, and extension professionals to learn about no-till farming practices in organic vegetable production and to help plan a research and extension project.

On the first day, no-till experts will be presenting and attendees will take a field trip to the rolling/crimping trial on pumpkins at 21 Acres in Woodinville. This session will be open to anyone interested in no/low till farming.

Day One Presenters:

Paul Hepperly, Rodale Institute
Carmen Fernholz, A-Frame Farm, Minnesota
Ronald Morse, Virginia Tech
John Luna, Oregon State University

Day two will consist of planning for a research and extension project to investigate no/low-till methods for organic vegetable production in Western Washington. This session is by invite only, but we still have some open spots. If you are interested in participating in day two, please contact Colleen Burrows.
