GREENWICH, N.Y. — Juggling Cover Crops, Manure and Reduced Tillage will be an interactive forum for farmers and researchers to share ideas and discuss what practices are working on farms and is organized by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Albany County, the Agricultural Stewardship Association. Inc., and the Washington County Soil & Water Conservation District.
A panel of farmers from our region will discuss the techniques they’ve used to increase use of cover crops and reduce tillage. Kirsten Workman will speak about her work on manure management, and Aaron Ristow from American Farmland Trust’s Genesee River Demonstration Farm Network will speak about the results network farmers have seen from incorporating innovative conservation practices on their farms. An exchange of ideas, questions and answers between participants and the farmer panel and researchers is encouraged.
There is an option to attend in-person ($35/person) or online via Zoom ($15). Both in-person and online attendees will be able to ask questions and share experiences.
