NEW HAVEN, Ind. — Farmers and conservation professionals interested in learning more about innovative technologies in farming are invited to attend the “Going Green for Ag, New Practices and Technology” workshop from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. March 17 at The Orchid Event Center, 11508 Lincoln Hwy. E, New Haven.
Participants will hear from a variety of speakers on topics, such as extracting phosphorus from manure; interseeding cover crops; drainage water management; soil health; Farmer-to-Farmer, a new program through The Nature Conservancy; and the new H2OhioProgram, what Indiana should know about our neighbor’s efforts to protect water quality.
