Field Crop Advisory Team Alert

Interested in learning about organic practices for growing field crops and vegetables?

On April 15, three universities will launch The New Agriculture Network. Michigan State University is joining with Purdue University and The University of Illinois to bring seasonal advice to field crop and vegetable growers about organic methods.

Nine organic growers will share crop updates and advice with Extension personnel to generate information at the new web site. University specialists will also write articles about a variety of practices and new research findings useful for organic growers.

The web site will serve those interested in transitioning to organic as well as those currently practicing low-input or organic agriculture.

This new initiative has been funded through the American Farmland Trust and EPA Region V.
