Upcoming
2024 Midwest Mechanical Weed Control Field Day
Purdue University’s MEIGS Horticultural Research Farm in Lafeyette, Indiana will be the host site for the 2024 Midwest Mechanical Weed Control Field Day (MMWCFD). MMWCFD connects farmers, machinery manufacturers, and the allied trades for a single day event that draws farmers from all over the Midwest.
Organic Grain Mentorship
The purpose of the mentorship program is to support seasoned conventional farmers (folks with many years of conventional row crop experience) as they transition portions of their acreage into organic production. The goal is to connect those farmers with other experienced farmers who have previously transitioned some of their land into organic practices who can act as mentors and support for farmers so they don’t need to go on this journey alone.
