Dive into the incredible journey of North Slope Farm with Mike Rassweiler, who revolutionized his farming practices in the ’90s by introducing PERMANENT BEDS for annual crops. Join us for a demonstration of multiple different ways to prep a site to transition from a thick hay field to organic food production. We will focus on comparing minimal soil disturbance to heavier plow, and using smaller tools like BCS with rotary plow, solarization with Silage Tarps, broad-fork, and more! Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity to learn from their experience and see firsthand how innovation in farming can make a world of difference!
This event is grant funded from TOPP: The Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP) is a new USDA initiative that will invest up to $100 million over five years to provide education, technical assistance, and support to help producers transition to organic. The goal of this initiative is to help grow the organic sector.
