Lamberton, Minn. – The outlook for organic farming is good. It is one of the fastest growing segments of United States agriculture. As consumer interest continues to grow, producers are turning to certified organic farming systems as a way to lower input costs, decrease reliance on nonrenewable resources, capture premium prices, and boost farm income.
The University of Minnesota Research and Outreach Center in Lamberton, Minn., leads an extensive program dedicated to exploring organic agriculture production and the science of organic agriculture. On Wednesday, July 11, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Center will host their annual Organic Field Day to present the latest research-based information about organic weed management, cover and companion crops, soil quality, variety selection, vegetable crop trials, and no-till organic production.
