UMass Agricultural Field Day
At the end of July I had another opportunity to be in the field and learn about the different aspects of agriculture. Each year UMass plans and executes the UMass Agricultural Field Day. It is a day long event to highlight the research they do in agriculture. It is held at the UMass Animal and Crop Research Center. Attendance is free and there is a lunch served between sessions.
If you follow the link you will see the too numerous to mention topics that are covered throughout the day. A few that I would like to highlight are:
• Organic Fertility
• GAP Certification
• Amending Soil with Biochar and Rock Dust
• Pig And Vegetable Intercropping
These subjects were well presented very interesting and you walk away with information you can use. There is something about being in a field and seeing things growing that can never be duplicated in the classroom.
