Two free workshops from University of Missouri Extension will help producers build long-term resilience against weather risk through conservation practices.
“Building Drought Resilience on the Farm: Conservation Tools and Planning” workshops will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. both days in Union on Aug. 18 at the MU Extension Center in Franklin County and Columbia on Aug. 19 at the Memorial Union on the MU campus. The workshops are hosted in partnership with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and the MU Center for Regenerative Agriculture’s Missouri Conservation Crop and Livestock Project.
Workshops will include discussions on conservation planning, soil health practices and strategies for drought-adapted livestock and cropping systems, as well as available incentives and cost-share opportunities.
Lunch will be provided. Although the program is free, registration is required to ensure enough materials and food. Learn more and register at http://muext.us/buildingdroughtresilience.
