MUNISING, Mich. — A series of educational program targeting farmers, large and small, is planned for three U.P. locations. These meetings will address questions posed by local farmers concerning soil nutrient balances as reported on soil tests, soil microbial activity and its impact on crop production, efficient use of commercial fertilizers and manures, and reducing crop production costs. Soil improvement techniques, including tillage practices, crop rotations and cover crops will also be addressed. There is no charge for these meetings.
