Join the Stearns County Soil and Water Conservaton District (SWCD), and the Natural Resources Conservaton Service (NRCS) for the 2019 Farmers Fair. This will not be your ordinary workshop. The Farmers Fair is designed to provide a lively, interactive learning opportunity for all that are interested. There will be a Grandstand, where a variety of presenters will share their knowledge and expertise, a Midway full of vendors offering the most recent information on products and services, and space to socialize. This year’s event focus is on tile drainage, ditching, and drainage benefits from improved soil health.
Grandstand presenters include local farmers, program specialists and ag researchers. The Grandstand presentations include:
Where to Go, Who to Talk to About Your Tiling & Ditching Permit Needs
Climate Trends and Outlook
How to Tile & Ditch with Water Resources in Mind
Discovery Farms & Tile Monitoring Results
Does Organic Matter REALLY Matter?
Can Cover Crops Reduce Nitrate Leaching?
