The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin-Madison Division of Extension and FairShare CSA Coalition, invites Wisconsin farmers to attend multiple field days in the 2022 growing season. These events will provide information on a variety of production and management techniques, ranging from small-scale weed control practices to mushroom growing, rice cultivation techniques, and utilizing high tunnel production to grow crops that require unique soil or growing conditions.
The field days will take place on the following dates:
** July 24: Organic Weed Control Intensive Field Day, Athens
** July 27: Cover Crop Field Day, Verona
** August 2: High Tunnel Field Day Tours, Wausau
** August 15: Hands-on Food Safety Field Day, Wausau
** September 14: Rice Production Field Day, Mequon
The field days are designed for beginning or underserved growers who manage small to mid-scale diversified farm operations and will connect growers with the information and resources to increase the competitiveness of Wisconsin's specialty crop industry. Hmong translation services are available upon request at most events.
