Please join us for the best of where your bread might come from...
November 16 (Monday), 1-4 PM. Explore organic nutrient management with
green manures and other amendments at Cornell's Musgrave Research Farm in
Aurora, NY (Cayuga County). This Organic Cropping Systems field day is
designed for grain farmers preparing for next season and will focus on soil
fertility and green manure crops. We will assess red clover stands, winter
peas and other cover crop options, discuss nutrient inputs and exports in a
corn-alfalfa rotation and review some surprising results on corn and spelt
nutrition. A balance of inside and outdoor activities will be adjusted for
the weather.
Questions? Contact: Melissa Madden (607) 351 3313 or email [email protected].
Directions: The farm is in southern Cayuga County, half way between the
villages of Aurora and Poplar Ridge at 1256 Poplar Ridge Road, Aurora, NY
13068.
