The Organic Field Crop Production and Marketing Meeting will be hosted at the Vegetable Research Station near Kibler on April 7 to connect grain farmers with organic market opportunities and to showcase ongoing organic research in the state.
The event is free and open to the public, and registration is available online. The Vegetable Research Station’s address is 3810 Thornhill St., in Alma.
Similar to the event last fall, the organic field day also involves partners from the USDA’s Organic Agriculture Research and Extension Initiative project, as well as the Natural Soybean and Grain Alliance, the Center for Arkansas Farms and Food, Winrock International, the Rodale Institute, and University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture researchers.
